La Ramada del Bicentenario

---

On the actual day of Independence we went to a Ramada, which consits of a place with a dance floor with music and tables to eat. Fondas (refreshment stands) offer a tons of Chilean foods including empanadas, parilladas, anticuchos (kabobs), chicha (grape juice before fermentation), and more. At the beginning they had a showcase with all the dances from different parts of Chile: cueca, chamame, cumbia and rancheras. After it was our time to dance, dance and dance until sunrise told us to stop.
