I have had a lobster meal once in my life when I was seven and went to Mexico my family and another family. It was amazing and I have always wanted to have lobster again but whenever I go out to eat it is always so spendy so I get the cheaper meal, usually being the grilled fish which is also delicious. In Honduras about 20 minutes from the orphanage there was a fish house that sold lobster for $7 a plate. I always told myself before leaving I was going to get lobster... It never happened. Then I went to Nicaragua and ate on this beautiful beach and looked at the menu. It also had lobster for $7 a plate. I got the shrimp in garlic and butter instead because it was cheaper (by about $1.50). After that I was kicking myself! I went again to eat in Cahuita, Costa Rica on the coast and ordered the veggie pasta, again because it was the cheapest thing on the menu. I arrived in Bocas del Toro and told myself I was not leaving until I got my lobster dinner! And 2 nights ago I got it and it was amazing! I spent $7 for a meal eating at a restaurant over the water, watching the sun set. My plate was loaded with lobster, rice, beans, potatoes and veggies. It was delicious! I promised myself I would budget and cook breakfast the next day. So I bought an onion, tomato, green bell pepper and 2 eggs for $1.80 and made huevos rancheros using a little community salt, oil, and the hot sauce that I am now traveling with for circumstances such as this. It was delicious! I would use my favorite term amazing but that may be a bit extreme to use as a matter of opinion for my own cooking. None the less, it was good and I was very happy waking up this rainy morning, unable to do my hike to a nearby beach, knowing I was going to be able to cook and each huevos rancheros!
Tomorrow I am off to Boquete for Carnival and then to finish my trip I am headed South to Panama City to enjoy the end of Carnival and see the canal.
