Guatemalan Food: La Comida de la Alma de la Tierra

The dinner was so successful that we swore on our lives we would force everyone we knew to go to Guatemala, just for the cuisine alone. We babbled our goodnights and made our way back to the hotel in a torrential downpour; we were so sated, we didn’t even care. It was time to get some shut-eye before returning home the following morning, our journey having been crowned with a delicious meal.

Your article has brought forth, once again, many fond memories of my exploration of this region three decades ago...and the cuisine and local fare is, indeed, the food of the soul...of the earth...and of the eternal essence of being.
It feels good to write.
