One of my biggest sources of excitement in heading to a new place is the chance to check out the local food. So far, Guatemala is definitely holding its own in that area. Our first meal was a typical desayuno (for lunch) at Cafe La Escudilla (see above). For less than $10 dollars for both of us, we had eggs, beans, platanos, tortillas, oj, and coffee.
Since then, we've sampled local Guatemalan sweets, fire roasted corn on the cob from a street vendor, a great complimentary breakfast from our hostel (more eggs, beans, etc), and of course, ice cream!
Tonight, we head up to Volcan Pacaya for our overnight camping trip, so I'm looking forward to roasting marshmallows on the open lava (which will probably be less dangerous than our electric shower - see below).
We'll post back soon!
