Anecdote 

2 years ago in a family trip, we went to a farm located between Bolombolo and Titiribí. In this trip we had to prepare the lunch ( a big family lunch). 

There were only eight people for prepare a big lunch for 50 people ( My family ) That was funny.

They prepared a really good meal called peasant rice.

That dish was awesome and everybody were so happy with that lunch.
