Oh! Fall, Nice Potatoes

What a such nice experience having the fall season in this part of the country. Each year there is a spectacular colorful scenario with the leaves (red, terra, orange, intense green), you would be here to know what I am talking about.

My garden is still surprising me! I never imagined to harvest potatoes as I did some days ago! Looking at them as hidden treasures underground, it is quite nice experience.

That reminds me Perú, by being the protagonist since 8 thousand years when its ancestors had done researchments on a place called Maras in Cusco to control or discover the differentes climates over platforms (andenes) planting potato seeds or coca. They had discovered for over three  thousands varieties of these ancient tubers.

The United Nations - UN has declared 2008 as "Year of the Potato".  Thus, on May 31, 2008, Peru has celebrated the "National Day of the Potato" with its motto 'Treasure from Peru, Food for the World, en many Peruvian places there were fairs where Andean peasants and neighborhood from the urban places displayed several posibilities to cook this popular tuber.Now at home, we will have this sensation to eat potatoes "de la chacra a la olla" (popular expression that means "from the garden to the pot". Mmmmm.... Baked potatoes with cheese, milk, some butter... I wanna try it! Let me know if you need the recipe :)

Three Years

III Anniversary

We have celebrated our III Wedding Anniversary last August 21, we did something unusual for us: barbeque with our own style: grilled meat with potatoes and corn. It was terrific! We played volleyball for a while, also. A VISIT TO BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS

We decided to continue the wedding celebrations in Boston for two reasons: to get my German visa and to visit some interesting places there.

Boston Museum of Fine Arts with exhibitions of the Japanese, Egyptian, Chinese and American arts.

It was fascinating to visit the most beautiful library that I have seen. The Boston Public Library founded in 1895 has over 15 million books, it is the third largest library in the USA.

The interior of the Boston Public Library has beautiful murals like this one.

This a plaque of two important painters.

Our next visit was the Boston Aquarium. This fearful shark looks quite and dominant. Around him there are several marine species. A short tour to touch some fish in the aquarium.
Time to visit the Boston China Town, we were looking for nice food and we found a Malaysian restaurant, with excellent typical food and good service! And finally the vibrant colorful of the Botanic Garden was so impressive!
