Chile Day 4: Dieciocho


Well today was an exciting day. At 4:35AM a 5.9 earthquake hit. It lasted 32 seconds and shook everything a lot. There was not much damage. In the morning I worked again to prepare for “Dieciocho”. At roughly 1:30PM the whole village of 70 or so sat down for some food. They had some really good food and some special Chilean like burrito sandwich. After food there were games thought the afternoon until about 5:15M. We had about 45 minutes to prepare and cleanup and change for the evening activates. Tonight we had some more food and later in the night some people danced the Cueca. Then we had more food. After that there was an after-party at the boys hut. It was too cold there to do anything so we went to the "Solon". Most of the guys asked out many of the girls. I asked out one of the Colombian girls. I had a blast at the after-party. She taught me most of the local dances. It was extremely fun. We started at about 7 and went till midnight.
 
Here are some photos.
