Friday night I tried this Granada specialty called vigorón. It consists of cabbage, tomatoes, onions, yucca, more veggies, and chicarrón, aka pork rind. Yep, I ate pork rind. For the first time in my life. And I actually kind of liked it. I knew what it was too, and figured I´d try it since it´s a big specialty here. Don´t think I´ll ever eat it when I´m living on my own, but it´s alwyas nice to try new platos.
Also, one of my new favorite things is avena or oatmeal. The way they eat it here is as a beverage. One tablespoon of avena in water with some sugar. Mmm. I have it with breakfast now. And they have these avena ice cream bars that are only 4 córdobas, so I´ve bought 2 in the last 2 days. Basically oatmeal ice cream.
This is a picture of my training town group. From left there´s Gloria, our instructor for the first 3 weeks. Then me, Lauren, Robyn, and Kate. We´re a pretty cool bunch and completely into ourselves. It´s awesome. Jinotepe Group #2
