Eating in South America

I’m heading back home late late tonight, with a brain still full of things to write about my trip to Peru and Ecuador. But, as it’s Friday, I thought I’d just do a handful of photos of the food I’ve had the opportunity to try while in South America. Although a PB&J sounds great right about now, it really has been a treat to have such diverse culinary experiences. The farmers and communities we visited were extremely welcoming; generous with both their time and their food. It’s an element of travel I’ll never forget.
