On Saturday our Relief Society hosted an activity to commemorate Canary days, an annual celebration of the culture and history of the islands. Mike and I both went and our young elders. We are even in the video. A son of one of the Relief Society counselors put this fun video together. The song tells in Spanish all of the things that the islands are famous for. Several sisters told stories and histories from each island. Then they served a lunch of boiled Canary potatoes with mojo, which I love and plan to make, baked chicken, bread and salad. Then they brought out a pan of small dried marinated fish.

| This is the dried fish which are marinated in something with the vegetables to soften them and it was served cold. It was too fishy for me. |

| This is the Mojo, which is often served with the famous Canary grown potatoes and fish or chicken and is wonderful as a bread dip. They also have a green version. It is made with olive oil, garlic, cilantro, cumin and a fresh red pepper blended. Mike is not a cilantro fan but he ate this and enjoyed it. |
