The tour to Palenquebatarted on the bus before we even left Cartagena. Alex knows his country well. He told the history about every area we drove through. We learned about the huge Ship harbor and the process of removing the containers from the barges and international trade. We passed by the town of Rocha, where Alex’s family is originally from. We learned about every river we crossed and every town we passed through. The best part was buying snacks from vendors at rest stops and toll areas. Our first edible adventure was small but unforgettable. Alex wouldn’t tell us what it was. But we all agreed to try it together. We all ate two of the little circular treats and decided it tasted like egg yolks and cheese. Once we all ate some and agree that we liked it we found out we were eating.... here I’ll just let you watch the video for yourself..
Video of us finding out we were eating: Iguana Eggs!!!!! They were good though!
Further up the road we got to try another treat. This fruit is like nothing what we have in the US but was great to try.
By the time we finished trying all the new things we were pulling up to Palenque.
