Potato day

Today's Peruvian version of Google (google.com.pe) has a special doodle in honor of "National Potato Day." I'm assuming this does not appear on the U.S. version of the site? :)

While I am not surprised that Peru has a National Potato Day, I am quite surprised that we didn't have a town parade in honor of this momentous occasion - the cajabambinos usually take advantage of pretty much any excuse for a parade. Maybe they haven't checked Google today...
