¡Felliz diesiochera!

Today is the Chilean Independance day! How I wish I could go back for the festivities. Good food and great friends.

5 years ago I spent this day in the community of San Miguel of Santiago. Here is a picture of that day at a church party, one of 6 ladies dressed to dance the cueca – traditional chilean dance (my favorite one was called Me Voy), and yours truly dressed in traditional goucha wear.
