Day 5 – Food!

I forgot to photograph breakfast until it was much to late, so you have several photos of empty plates here :P. Sausages, a communal bowl of scrambled eggs, a bowl of refried beans, a basket of fried jacks and a bottle of Marie Sharpes. Breakfast!

I did not find these fried jacks as pleasing as the ones at 5 Sisters. I began to worry if I had tasted extraordinary fried jacks, and that no other preparation would leave me satisfied. (They were still pastries drizzled in honey…I had 4 :P)

Lunch was at that creepy place with the old people. They had some decent lime juice (she had frozen pucks of juice…add sugar and water and stir for a while). I think this is a breaded chicken burger and fries. Every mouthful I thought I was going to start choking on the poison she had put in there, or pass out and wake up tied to a bed. But the food was tasty and I walked out, so I guess I don’t have to much to complain about :P.

The eldery gentleman spent a significant amount of time talking about his cashew pie, so when the question of dessert arose, we had no choice but to sample it. It tasted like a mincemeat tart, but with cashews in it. I like mincemeat, and I love cashews, and this was a good pie.

Dinner was prepared on the side of a road BBQ in San Pedra. Pupusas! They hand-make the dough and then they have bits of meat, beans or cheese inside them. Dip them in the “tomato soup” in the middle of the table, or just go straight for the Marie Sharpes. A good meal!

We’re getting into “diving territory” from here, and I haven’t yet taken the time to go through my diving videos to make a summary video. Perhaps now that I’ve thought about it, I’ll see if I can’t start that process tomorrow…I have about 7 hours of video and a lot of it will be crap >.>
