Re-Cap of Dieciocho: Chile's Independence Day

It was in the year 1810 that Chile fought and won it's independence from Spain.
And now in all of Chile, September 18th is celebrated with asados (grilling parties), traditional games, and La Cueca (the traditional dance of Chile).

At Iglesia El Puente we celebrated with a mix of all three.

We started our grilling.



Then we ate and were stuffed.



Next were a bunch of traditional games played by both old and young alike.




For the finale- La Cueca!



CHI CHI CHI LE LE LE!! VIVA CHILE!
