El Dieciocho in Chile (Part 1 of 2)

There is not a better time of year to be in Chile than for the week of Fiestas Patrias, September 18th and 19th. This is when all things Chile are celebrated and praised. The empanadas, chicha, vino, anticuchos, huasos and the cueca. What are all of these things you might be asking? Well stay tuned because I plan to focus this week’s blogging on my favorite Chilean holiday.
