Fiestas Patrias
It is the big holiday weekend here in Chile and the celebrations are going on full time. The grocery store was packed with people getting prepared for the next few days. Its like Memorial Day, Labor Day and the 4th all put together. On Friday night we had our own Fiestas Patrias Celebration on the reciento. Food (empanadas, kebobs), drink (beer and wine) and performances, music and dancing! A good time was had by all (everybody kept asking how long it would be until Lisa gets back) and luckily I had my video camera. I’ve quickly thrown together a 13min film showcasing the festivities. Enjoy!

Baby, what a wonderful job. I wish I could’ve been there. Did you dance with any hot chilean momma’s?

Steve, Great job on the video. Looks like it was tons of fun and lasted all day and into the night. I guess those Chilean’s really know how to party! Now Lisa can at least get an idea of what goes on. Can’t wait to experience a little Chilean culture myself : )

Yo! Were those hankies used? Nice touch with the Narration! I’m going into the annual Nags Head detox this week, but I think that will start tomorrow! And lastly, The Wife doesn’t know our last name!

Great movie, Steve! Looked like the wine was flowing pretty freely by the end! Can’t wait to see both of you in DC – less than 3 weeks!
