Food!

Every time I start traveling I also tend to start losing weight. As a direct result I start to spend way more time thinking/dreaming about food. I also noticed I have a mild obsession with taking pictures of food when I am really hungry. I thought I would give a small culinary taste of the world I have seen through the many meals I have overly enjoyed. I will start with this last trip to Pucon where Lisa, Shepherd, Brin and I made a breakfast of epic proportions.

I also have had a lot of local specialties. In Zululand I had a meal with butternut, phutu, beetroot, and salad with lovely native spices.

Some foods I have had are for a special holiday. During the Bicentenario en Chile I had Mote which is dried and then revived peaches in a sugar syrup with roasted barley. Mote can be bought on practically every street in Chile, but especially during the yearly independence festival.

The produce of El Salvador is unworldly. With practically everyone selling produce on the street, its hard even with trying to avoid getting a stomach bug not to enjoy the fresh produce of the small Central American country.

Sometimes just the ambiance is the most important part. Sitting on the beach in Durban looking out at the Indian Ocean rolling in. The day could not get anymore perfect then just a claming day relaxing in the warm sun.
