A Long Ride

I've been told "don't eat from stands, don't eat uncooked lettuce or veggies, eat only fruit that's not been peeled or cut by someone else, etc." Screw that, we're eating! We pulled up to taco stands and shanty-looking cafes and got meals that would put expensive restaurants back home to shame. We've also had a chance to eat a few local specialties:



Camarones Secas, shrimp dried in brine that you eat with a garlic dipping sauce. They taste kind of like shrimp jerky - absolutely delicious.



Mangos with chili, lime and salt. I loved it but Guy said it didn't sit well on his stomach.



No, Guy didn't shrink his beer: those are Coronitas, which are just Coronas, only smaller.



Burrito de Camarones, prepared with sauteed onions, vegetables and chilies, folded into a tortilla, then grilled.

Guy has had a plate of shrimp al mojo de ajo at almost every meal. The price is usually somewhere between 40 and 80 pesos, or about 4-8 dollars, including drinks.
