Some people have been asking me if I am continuing my vegan lifestyle in Costa Rica. So here is my answer-yes! And it honestly could not be easier. Since rice and beans are the basis of almost all Latin American meals, I can always always be sure that I will be able to find something to eat. They even have rice and beans on the menu at Burger King.
At my school's cafeteria, I can get a big plate of salad, rice, beans, squash, and maduros (fried plantains) for only 570 colones-which is only a little bit more than an American dollar. Suuuch a good deal and easier than walking home and cooking the same lunch for myself.
There are tons of fresh veggies at the central market for really cheap (I got a huge bag of vegetables for 5 dollars today) so I have been cooking lots of yummy food for myself. For dinner tonight I made brown rice and Nituke, my favorite vegetable dish that I learned to make in Alaska. It had potato, carrot, radish, cauliflower (plus the greens) and spinach. Yum!
AND at the grocery store today I found these awesome cookies that are vegan. And they taste good! And none of the ingredients are strange!
