I'm planning to skip it except for bus transfers. Compared to that, it's really not that bad here--they're just really not big on the idea of fresh vegetables. But I can afford (and eat) all the mangoes I can stomach.<br /><br />I can't imagine eating fettuccine every day. At least I can switch it up with the odd pizza or bag of chips. Mmmm, grilled cheese.j.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05488121165040555447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7148735542162027173.post-18027095517698401622011-06-23T19:45:14.159-04:002011-06-23T19:45:14.159-04:00When my mom and I went to pick up my daughter in G...When my mom and I went to pick up my daughter in Guatemala City we didn't leave the hotel for about 5 days, until my husband flew in. We tried almost everything on the room service menu and the only thing edible was the fettucini alfredo. I can't count the number of times we ordered it and each time it came with something different in it. To this day (she came home Nov 07) I can't eat fettucini. It makes me want to gag. We were there for almost 2 weeks (a VERY small amount of time compared to most parents who adopted their children from there, my best friend lived there for 4+ months) and we also made a list of things we were going to eat when we got home! We were there over Thanksgiving and I kid you not, we started off our day making grilled cheese sandwiches on the flat top stove. We then had dinner at the Westin but the food was not even close to what we consider Thanksgiving food. I can feel you pain in a very minute way :)Cameohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04815107970059019435noreply@blogger.com
