September 18th is Chile's Independence Day so this last weekend there was some celebrating in Payson. For those of you who don't know I served my mission in Chile and so I am quite fond of the place and its traditions. Until a couple of weeks ago we had Sebastian living with us. I met him and his family while I was down there. He came here to study a little English before he goes on his mission. He brought Josie a little "cueca" dress. The cueca is there national dance. It is still quite big on her but of course she had to wear it to the festivities. She looked adorable. There she is with Sebastian in his traditional clothing as well. There was a little pony giving rides so Marcus helped Josie go on her first pony ride. She really liked it. We had lots of fun there and got to eat a lot of the traditonal food...empanadas, pastel de choclo, berlines, etc.
