15. Popular foods in Ecuador are stews, corn pancakes, rice, eggs, vegetables, and seafood. Some specialities are caldo de patas (soup made from cow hooves) and cuy (whole roasted guinea pigs.) Three meals are eaten each day at about the same hours as we eat in the United States. Meals are generally very informal and practically no restaurants

Some of the food that you described above sounds completely outside the box of what I normally eat. I was watching No Reservations on the travel channel a couple of weeks ago and Anthony Bourdain ate a whole guinea pig. I think he was in Peru. I also noticed that you and I picked two out of the three most important traits: Sense of humor and open-mindedness.

I liked the information on Ecuadorian food that you found, it sounds like you will be trying some interesting new things such a guinea pigs. I also liked the fact about the expatriates living in communes that are placed in valleys. That sounds amazing to see, I hope that you get to see some incredible landscapes.
