Potato harvest

On Easter day, we joined a friend Calixto and his wife Encarnación to help harvest potatoes on his land in El Alto. In a dry barren neighbourhood, we firstly shared coca leaves to bless the harvest. We then  plucked out lots of varieties of potatoes watched impassively by the snow-capped Huayna Potosi behind his adobe brick wall. We finished with the tastiest chicken and potato stew before heading back to La Paz. A memorable Easter and a great harvest too!
