September 18 in Chile

This is an important day for my country because it is the celebration of the first national government meeting in the year 1810.

In September 18, all Chileans enjoy the national celebration whit “chicha”, “empanadas”, barbecue and they dance the traditional dance that is the “cueca” in the “fonda” or “ramada”.

When I was a girl was playing fly a kite in the park whit my family it was very funny, because all children out of his houses to playing in different thing as spinning top, marbles or fly a kite. Nowadays, I go to the “fonda” in the O’Higgins Park for dance and eat traditional food of Chile.

I remember that my September 18 favourite was four years ago whit my two cousins, sister and uncle, we were at the O’Higgins Park in the night for eat “empanadas”, barbecue and dance, this was my favourite September 18 because, this day was the last that I saw at my family complete.

The 18 of September is a special day, because all people think in others things and forget his problems for one day and they only amuse themselves meeting, dancing, conversing, eating and enjoying the national celebration whit all people of the country.
