Dinner time

My first night I had dinner at a restaurant called Papazitos. No exactly local cuisine but since I'm vegetarian and love me some pasta it seemed like a good spot. The restaurant itself was pretty small but lovely none the less. I was the only non-local in the joint sitting at a small table in the corner.

When I was there, there was a big family that basically took up 80% of the restaurant. I would have to say there were about 12-14 adults with a few kiddos sprinkled in-between. There was also a small family of 5 sitting at a different table and I have to say that amount of affection that each family showed towards each other was so amazing. A father brushing hair out of his daughters face, husbands rubbing the backs of their wives, arms around friends, etc. I was watching culture at it's finest and it was beautiful. Growing up in Canada and living a large part of my adult life in the US it is much different!

So, I ordered fettuccine pomodoro with some Pepsi light although I was a little jealous when I saw the other table order grapette! That looked tasty! The menu was in English and Spanish so that made it easy! But I made it through the ordering process in Spanish up until one point where I didn't understand the waiter. So, I say, "No entiendo," I don't understand and he said, "Would you like some garlic bread?" Ahhh, si, gracias. :) My meal here cost 82 quetzales which is about $11 US which isn't toooo bad for dinner.
