Celebración de la Independencia del Perú
The Consulate de Peru, located in Seattle asked us to participate in their Independence day celebration with our alpacas!
Independence Day is a two-day national holiday held on 28th and 29th July each year in Peru. It celebrates José de San Martín's proclamation of Peru's independence from Spain on 28th July 1821.
We enjoyed meeting Miguel Angel Velásquez and his staff for a fun-filled event. Our alpacas were at the front entrance as guest arrived and had many photo opportunities for the guests to meet and greet with our Liberty's Midnight Revere (who stole the show) and to discuss alpacas! It was also nice to listen to Peruvian music and dine on delicious Peruvian samplings.
We look forward to meeting with them again next year!
