Chile Day 13

Today I worked setting up some rooms for a conference thing. In the afternoon I cleaned some rooms. That evening I went to a going away/birthday party. We had some great tacos and some good drinks and cake. Late that night we had another party. We had dancing and karaoke. I love to dance the Salsa. They had me sing a Brittany Spears song in English and the theme song to Titanic in Spanish. I did better in Spanish. Then we went back to dancing till 2 Sat morning. It was a late night.

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.
