P is for... Potatoes

On our way to Pampa Aullagas today we stopped at a town called Huari.
Apart from being famous for making the well-known Bolivian beer Huari,
this town has some charm! We stopped by the market to get some coffee,
tea, breakfast... It was fun to wander around the market and see the
produce they had for sale. Did you know at least 30 to 40 different
varieties of potatoes are widely grown in Bolivia?
Here are some pictures the potatoes we saw! How would you cook them??

Bolivian Cuisine

We had some Bolivian food for lunch today. Kind of funny how
everything had a fried egg on top. Why not, right?

Valle de la Luna

Today, during lunch time we had a picnic and some video interviews at the Valle de la Luna. It was so incredible

and such a nice day. Lindsay is videotaping us to make a video of the venture project this summer here and it's been fun to do! 

In the afternoon, we had a meeting with the Food Security Project here in Bolivia, and we got some "mil hojas" cake from Toffee Bakery- it was amazing.
