Super Adventure Food Review

The past two weeks have been a whirlwind of adventure, and along the way I have has some notable gastronomic encounters.
Coconut sugar patty: Carnaval de Barranquilla
Breakfast in Pueblo Bello: eggs, beans, and fried arepas (yum!)
Lunch, Nabusimake: rice & beans with scrambled eggs and Casey's guacamole (minus salsa...)
International Women's Day dinner feast, Nabusimake: pasta with a onion and mushroom tomato sauce, whole wheat toast
So Colombia! Lunch Nabusimake: rice & beans with a fried egg on top
Danger #1 in San Andres: Mango Margarita
Danger #2 in San Andres: Coconut Mojito
Johnny Quay, San Andres, piña colada on the beach
San Andres = Colombia...
San Andres lunch: red snapper, coconut rice, salad, and fried bread fruit (delicious!) from a local restaurant that only opens on Sundays & holidays - specifically for the church goers of the local islander community (we were special guests)
Crab stew - slightly gumbo-esque, save for the pig tail, which honestly looked a little bit like the male genital organ... I avoided it.
I got through about half of the soup. HUGE bowl!
This is the Caribbean, San Andres lunch: Plato Mixto - lobster, crab, snail, and an entire fish, plus coconut rice, plantain pancakes, salad... I finished the entire plate!
Seafood! Happy Casey! Accompanied by pulpy coconut water. Island life.
