I, Ricardo, have been to Pichilemu before so I knew what to expect. The only problem was that never have I been to Chile for the National Independence Day "El Dieciocho". This year el dieciocho was on a Tuesday. That meant the entire country was celebrating Friday night from the week before, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday... the actual dieciocho.
We arrived on the 17th with Joe, Beca, Nick in one car and followed my friend Francisco, his girlfriend, and their friends in another. We arrived to the hotel we were going to stay and we had not even picked a room and I had beef in my mouth and a piscola in my hand. I picked my room, put my bag down, and joined everyone else for a delicious asado. Heaven! We all went to the Fonda and the rest is history.
The next day we woke up around noon to yet another asado. I didnt even make it to the bathroom and someone handed me a beer and more beef. CARNIVORE!!!! We kept the same rythm the entire day. Drinking eating, dancing during the day. Cueca danced by everyone even gringos y gringas.
Some definitions for yalls. Cueca is the traditional Chilean dance. The dance assimilates a rooster chasing a hen right before he STEPS on her. In Cueca there is no stepping, at least not in public. A Fonda is where you celebrate the 18th of Sept. A huge party for adults kids old people, everyone who feels like feeling Chilensis. A lot of Cueca, Cumbia, Reggaeton to dance too and everyone is PRENDIDO. Okay a bit too much dictionary for now.
Quite difrfferent than the 4th of july. I will be amazed anyone that makes it down to here. Saludos y hasta la proxima. Will try to update more often.
