I have now spent three independence celebrations in Chile. For an entire weekend, it’s all things national heritage, all things Chilean, and it’s been fantastic every single year. Last year was the 200th anniversary of Chile being Spain-free, and I was there, running around with my camera, documenting what it truly meant to be Chilean. So this year, I decided to forget the worries and dangers of dragging my beautiful camera around, and simply enjoy. Aside from all the pretty fireworks, nothing was different in comparison to my previous “dieciochos.” It’s all about food, family and fun. What more do we need in life?
