Hello ladies and gents this is the Viking telling you that today we are talking about
Colombia Independence Day 2023
Today’s Doodle honors Colombia’s Independence Day. On this day in 1810, Colombia signed the Act of Revolution and declared freedom from Spanish rule.
Colombia’s capital Bogotá is at the center of celebrations. People from across the country gather there to watch vibrant parades, military demonstrations, and historic reenactments. For dinner, families enjoy the national dish of bandeja paisa, which consists of grilled beefsteak, steamed white rice, red beans, fried eggs, sweet plantains, fried pork, and slices of avocado. After feasts, many flock to beaches to watch fireworks light up the night sky.
Today’s Doodle artwork features the country’s national plant — a frailejon. There are 47 species of frailejones and they can grow up to 18.5 meters!
Happy Independence Day, Colombia!
And as always have a chilled day from the Viking
