Hello! I'm going to talk about one of my favorites Fiestas Patrias.It was seven years ago, I was 16 years old. I remembered it a lot because specially that year my family and I moved house, we lived in Independencia and we moved to Huechuraba, from a department to a house. That was the first time that we have a garden, so my parents want to make a very big party.
They invited all the family to the house... my grandparents, my uncles, my aunts, cousins and also the girlfriends of my cousins. All the people was invited! So we decorated the house and prepared some traditional chilean games, like rayuela, trompo, etc. The people arrived very early, to help us to make the food. I have to say that I really don't care a lot Fiestas Patrias, I think that is a fake in a lot of senses, but I can't negate the food. Well, we made empanadas, pebre and barbeque, it was fabulous and delicious. We made around one hundred of empanadas! And for dessert we had mote con huesillo, It was so much food that we don't ate until the other day. Even thought I don't like what we celebrate in Fiestas Patrias, I enjoyed that afternoon a lot, because all the family was together and happy! And also we ate a lot, what else can I want?
