Day 4 – Food!

Day 4 started in Flores, Guatemala. We stopped at a farmers market just outside of the island. Lots of food to look at!

This was a local cornbread cooked on a BBQ-thing on the side of the road. Delicious!

Kerry and Dayl and I bought an avocado. I stopped to look at something. I walk around the corner and the two of them are ripping into it as though it was the last avocado on earth. I had some. It was pretty amazing :).

We bought some local fruits. I bought tomatoes.

This was the second most disappointing meal on the trip. We went to a Chinese place in Belmopan…think it was called Golden Trunk or Golden Sea. We’d arrived early at the Jungle Dome, and they only stock food for when you say you’re coming, so we had to drive back out to town to find food. Nothing looked good, and we ended up stopping here. They had some really tasty pastries though, and we bought donuts and donut holes for later.

This is the remains of some rice and a breaded chicken and some salad. This is about when I started forgetting to photograph my food and ended up with remains :P. You have been warned…

This meal was excellent! Dinner at the Jungle Dome – two massive pieces of chicken, bean soaked rice, a salad.

Oh, a story I forgot to tell about getting to the Jungle Dome. So all we have on how to get there is a tour book that is giving directions. But as we’re driving, the directions start getting vague…as though they could really mean “this left, or that left?” There are signs to a place called Banana Bank, but no Jungle Dome. Some panicked minutes later we find a tiny little Jungle Dome sign, right next to a giant Banana Bank sign. Someone had neglected to mention that the Jungle Dome is in an area called “Banana Bank” 🙂

Day 5 is our trip to the zoo! Later!
