Apparently I failed badly at photographing food this day :). This plus side is, that the food failed pretty badly as well.

We had breakfast at some place 2 blocks from our hotel. If someone remembers the name, you’re welcome to write it in the comments for me. Food was mediocre and slow. I think I had eggs and toast or something.

Lunch was worse. We’d just finished off a long walk through Tikal and everyone was pretty hungry. Rather than drive for a bit, we decided to have some lunch at the restaurant at the site. It’s open-air, nice tiles, not a bad looking place. The menu was in Spanish however, which caused some issues. Sean and I ordered burgers – they were alright. I think others ordered “plain rice”, “plain fries”, “plain tortilla”, etc. Really lackluster food. Worse, it was relatively expensive compared to other food in the area. Just avoid the on-site restaurant.

Here’s a photo of some beer and a water bottle instead :P.

Dinner, on the other hand, was easily in my top 2 meals of the trip – it could even be number one, but I have a special place in my heart for ribs (they are several days away now).

So Sean and I got fairly drunk at this restaurant. We finished our game of Agricola and pushed our table over to the girls table. They had already ordered while were finishing, so their food arrived well before ours.

I feel a little sorry for Dayl – Sean and I were looming over her meal the entire time because it looked sooo good. We both ended up ordering the same thing. It was a grouper caught that morning, cooked in what was probably a cajun sauce. The entire fish. Head to tail (entrails removed). Pull the spine out yourself when you finish with the top layer. Potatoes with garlic butter. A little salad, a cucumber, tomatoes.

But the fish, was absolutely amazing. Again, if I could remember the name of the restaurant, I’d be highly recommending it _right now_.
