Casilla 1091
Chillan, Chile
Easy, right?
Today is September 1, the unofficial ending of winter and beginning of spring. Here in Chillan they have a tradition where all of the elderly people congregate in the plaza to celebrate the fact that they have survived another winter. The idea is that if they made it through August, they will make it another year! They have live music, dancing, empanadas, drinks, etc. I of course did not go, since I'm not old enough, but it still sounded fun.
Also, I've noticed a lingering smell of burning trash around the neighborhood.... I always hated that smell in Nicaragua, but now it helps make me feel more at home!
