Mapuche Celebration

This past weekend, I was invited to a traditional Mapuche celebration. Mapuche are the indigenous people of Chile and the ceremony was very cool and very similar to a Native American ceremony. Lots of chanting and dancing. I was very flattered to be a part of it. Plus it was a gorgeous day out so I spent most of the time sitting outside in the sun. After the ceremony, we had a delicious feast of pan c/ pebre (the BEST pebre I've had so far), arroz, papas, carne y ensalada. (Bread w/ pebre, rice, potatoes, meat and salad.) It was definitely a cool experience!
