Eat Simple in the Jungle

The second best part of the rafting trip--the best part being the actual white water--was the lunch we had on shore halfway through the day. The lunch consisted of stale tortillas, freshly diced avocado, onion, pepper, and Doritos, with fresh cut pineapple for dessert. We stuffed the diced ingredients into the torts and chowed like there was no tomorrow. It was, hands down, the best meal we had eaten in Ecuador so far. So simple, yet so tastey--but the point isn't really how good it was, but rather, how good it was compared to everything else we ate in Ecuador. Perhaps it's our own darn fault for refusing to eat guinnea pigs, but it just seemed impossible to find decent food. So, we savored every bite, and even cleaned up after ourselves.
