Throughout the trip, we have had the privilege to dine at many different places and eat many different things. One thing we always have at meals, however, is jugo or batido. Thus far, the ingredients have consisted of fresa y naranja, piña y yerbabuena, tomate de árbol, mora, papaya, guayaba, coco, tamarindo, durazno, y maracuya con tomate de árbol. The first night in Cotacachi, Janel and Macy ordered a 'Plato tipico' at the Restaurante de Turistas. This actually meant a plate with three steaks of different types of meat. Luckily, the girls had planned on splitting it.
After eating out a few times, us Cougs decided to purchase ingredients at the market and make our own dinner in the kitchen of the hostal. From oca to melloco, pataconos and possibly the best guacamole ever made, our bellies were filled with food while our hearts were filled with joy and laughter. Todos tenían buena salud y felices.
