And, to celebrate, I offer you an introduction to the Cueca, Chile's national dance, closely tied to the country's huaso (cowboy) culture.

  1. I take it that was you and Mrs. Paco dancing on your wedding day, right?
    I'm impressed by your foot work, and the fact you didn't injure Mrs. Paco in any way with your spurs.

    1. Finally had to sell the spurs on Ebay; I kept raking my knees when I crossed my legs.

    2. It was a sad day when you had to hang up your spurs.

  2. Definitely an energetic dance! Reminds me of square dancing.

  3. A picture of my favorite dictator.
    The one that killed all the commies could find and then stepped down when he lost an election.
