Nacional Day of Chile


Hello

Yesterday was celebrated National Day in my country. Throughout the weekend chilean people will have celebrations in Chile. In these festivals people eat typical food, empanadas, anticuchos, asados, curanto, chapaleles, mote con huesillos, etc. In some places they will make a special constructions for people to dance, eat and drink. Today was the military parade. I participated in 1986 and 1987 at the Military Parade when Agusto Pinochet was president. The picture shows to Pinochet at the left side and I'm at the right side of the flag.

Are you upset that you aren't in Chile for the holiday? I've seen that picture before. I find it amazing that you were so close to such a notorious leader!
