The food here is excellent. As you can imagine we eat a lot of food from the farm. We've eaten a few meals off the farm but Xinia's cooking is definitely superior. I know my foodie friends are dying to hear about the food. I've decide to write this blog as a running list of the food and will try to update it daily before I forget what I ate. I've already forgotten some items and it's only been a couple days. I feels like we never stop eating. Donald even mentioned one day that they like to eat all the time. He wasn't joking. I'm used to two meals a day back home and I dont snack. I'm not sure how I'm supposed to lose weight eating all the time although my alcohol consumption may be the key. They don't really have sweets here. It doesn't bother me but I think Megan might be missing them just a bit. We have become big fans of Xinia's picante although Megan tends to use too much and has almost cried once or twice but we put it on everything! We have learned "Estoy llena!"meaning "I'm full!" and we say it after every meal.
I will post pictures when I can. I am using two different cameras down here and cannot upload pictures from both so some will have to wait.
