Dinner at the Beach

Día 39, 9/9/2010

Last week we went to some meetings by the beach, in the Bahía de Jiquilísco.

Afterwards, we had some mussels. I was understandably a little nervous – “don´t worry! if they move when you squeeze the lime, they are still fresh!”

I like mussels and clams, and even normal oysters, but these were huge, chewy, and oily. After getting a few down, I thought I had survived, until dessert arrived. Everyone insisted I take this photo with the beers to show the “national food and drink of El Salvador.”
