Meals I ate while there...

We ate off the menu to first few days I was there with the Barb, Pat and David.  I had curry chicken that was spectacular.  (so good I had it for two meals)  I had warm chicken salad one day for lunch.  Breakfast was eggs, pancakes and bacon during those days.

Saturday, they feed the crew snacks when the arrived.  (PB and J sandwiches, fresh fruit, etc...)  Dinner was a pork chop.  Most sides were coconut rice, steamed veggies, a type of potato salad and cole slaw (neither of which were my favorite).  The rice and veggies were awesome!!!!

Sunday:  Lunch was stewed chicken.  It basically fell right off the bone.  Yummy!  Dinner was spaghetti noodles with white sauce.  There was a choice of chicken or shrimp.  I had chicken, but heard the shrimp was as awesome as the chicken pasta was.

Monday:  Lunch was brought to us at Santa Elena.  We had pork tacos.  Lots of yummies to put on them.  Homemade tortillas!  Mouth is watering!  Dinner was steak.  It was great!

Tuesday:  Lunch was brought to us again at Santa Elena.  We had BBQ.  This was very close to US BBQ.  Dinner was a fish and shrimp combo.  It was all great.  I am not too into sea food, but this fish was wonderful.

Wednesday:  Lunch was empanadas filled with fish or beans. The fish was very fishy, but the bean ones were great!  Dinner was baked chicken.

Thursday:  Lunch was a local dish called "reano" or black dinner.  It was a black bean soup base (without any beans just the juice), chicken on the bone and a hard boiled egg.  It was not a favorite of mine.  They did serve rice with it and that was good.  Dinner was lasagna and it was great!

Friday:  Lunch was at the restaurant in Guatemala.  Dinner was tangy chicken, which was wonderful.

Wednesday, they mentioned that pineapple upside down cake was the dessert for dinner.  I was so excited and the servers knew it.  They served me 2 pieces before anyone else.  It was superb!  I even told the cooks (via an interpreter) that is was as good as my moms!  :)
