We have a pretty regular schedule for meals. Breakfast is at 7 a.m., lunch @ 1 p.m. and supper at 7 p.m. We have not been starving, to say the least.
Lunch is the biggest meal of the day, and it is typical to have a hot soup served as part of that meal. The soups have been tasty, and MB even ate all of his cream of spinach soup! My mom would be soooo proud of her boy. Rice has been a staple on the menu for lunches and dinners, along with meat and veggies.
At mealtime, all the gringos divide up and sit with the Latino seminary students and staff. They are very helpful and engaging in conversation with us. I'm impressed with their level of desire and commitment to serve God. They enjoy life and laugh with us (and maybe a little "at" us....).

I found my pictures of Ecuador tonight. It brought back so many memories. I will show Mindy when she arrives in a few weeks. Your cafeteria setting reminds me of when I was there in 2003/4? I looked at my favorite store near by was a drugstore called supermax (this is where I found the super duper sun screen (spf 50 for equator type of living). For lunches...I remember very neat types of soups and various veggies and fruits that might be in them that was primarily indigenous to that area. Happy tasting. Also I remember that often I wasn't sure what type of meat I might be trying. In June TNU students go to Peru to eat a little guinea pig. Be careful! :) Love you. HB
