In celebration/anticipation of the New Year, we had a classic Chilean asado (barbeque). That meant plates were out of the story and mainly bread and meat was eaten. There was an appetizer of sausage on rolls, followed by strips of steak. We later resorted to plates for other food (potatoes, fruit, etc.). We then goofed off on the patio with music off of you tube (music we grew up with in the '9os...like Britney Spears, NSYNC, Backstreet Boys...which virtually everyone knew). Min made the mistake of displaying his mad Michael-Jackson-dancing-imitation skills and Merle (a three year old) beat the rest of us soundly in a dance contest...
Close to midnight we went down to town on the beach by the lake to watch the fireworks with the rest of the town of Pucon. It was awesome! Music (all Spanish, except for one Katy Perry song) was blasting and people were passing around champagne bottles. One group behind us opened theirs, which promptly sprayed all over us (I got the brunt of the blow...my hair smelled like champagne for the rest of the night...). In true Chilean fashion, the fireworks started late, but they were the best! They have fewer fire restrictions so they were definitely closer, and thus looked bigger! In short: AWESOME!!
