For Colombian Independence day there was a group throwing a ”picnic” in lake Minnetonka, so I visited with my sister and my cousin. It was very nice to hear Spanish being spoken, and they also had my favorite foods I can rarely access here.

It was so nice to get a little taste of home, it’s rare to get that in Minnesota! I had some good old Pony Malta (Malt Soda) and plantain chips, listened to some salsa and cumbia, and enjoyed the beautiful Minnesota summer weather
