Just another beautiful nature scene from the botanical garden. After our excursion to the Hacienda on Cotopaxi this weekend, I will have many more photos to show. Not much to report, another day of fiddling around with my schedule and trying out the many places to eat in the university. Today we went to the Italian trattoria, and the food was quite rich, and quite good. On the expensive side, however, we had to pay a full 6 dollars for a meal! usually a lunch here is anywhere from 1.50 to 4 dollars, and whenever it seems to be more my friends start complaining about price! I just remember working at Luna downtown champaign and the cheapest lunch possible was starting at 7 dollars, and that was a grilled cheese!
In terms of food, I have to say my favorite so far has been the salads. My host family always has organic, freshly picked cucumbers, tomatoes and lettuce, and the dressing is always lime and salt. The lime comes from their bush outside the house. Everyone has a lime tree in their yard! If all I could eat was salad, I would. Speaking of salt, most of you who know may know of my addiction to it, but I tell you I fit in perfectly here, sometimes my family puts TOO much salt, even for me, on their dishes. Wow.
This might be all for now, I have all my classes tomorrow so I will have a good sense of whats in store for the semester.
Peace and love!

Hey Becky I can see that you are having a good time that's good, the food is great i strongly recommend you to try a restaurant that is in La mariscal area call for everybody "La Zona" that's because this area is divided for the great amazonas avenue, anyway this restaurant is in front of a place called G-SPOT the streets are if I remember well reina victoria y fosh they sell menestras, that was my favorite place for many time, and if you want to try vegetarian food next to this G-SPOT is el maple restaurant I'm not vegetarian but wen I try this place I was so happy for my opinion is the best.
