Thursday Flakes: Prairie Madness, Botanical Gardens and Peru’s Independence Day

Today is Peru’s Independence Day. It celebrates the liberation of Peru from Spain in 1821 by Jose de San Martin. Tomorrow there is a big military parade to commemorate the establishment of the Republic of Peru. There will be a big party in every little town and every big city in Peru and I’m excited to participate in some of the activities. There have been already been plenty of activities including live music, dancing, celebrations and of course plenty of delicious street food at the plazas.

Here are some questions to get the ball rolling. Have you taken more vacations days this year?
