Pancakes in the Jungle

Another breakfast in the Ecaudorian jungle, but not pancakes
When I went to Ecuador last year, the tour company warned me that the jungle homestay may be challenging for a vegan. They make the food, and there are no restaurants for miles around, so I was a little worried. I brought extra food with me, as I always do, in case I was stuck in the middle of nowhere watching everyone else eat hot food while I finished my plate of fruit and stared forlornly at the kitchen.
Instead, the homestay family fed me like royalty. I even had pancakes. Vegan pancakes in a shack in rural Ecuador, can you believe it?? Sadly I did not get a picture of the most surprising pancakes I ever had--I was still in shock after our tour guide brought down another plate of pancakes and put them down in front of me saying, "No an-ee-mal." And I may also have eaten them too quickly to take a picture.
I still have a lot of travelling to do, and I hope I am never held back because of what I can or can't eat--and I hope I'll be pleasantly surprised.

  1. Hi. I'm Lisa from Downright Vegan.
    I followed your blog postings during Vegan Mofo and I have nominated you for a
    Liebster Award. Here are the Rules for the Liebster nominations:

    Once nominated, you receive a list of 10 questions from she/he who has placed the nomination, which the nominee must answer. Then, the nominee must nominate 8 other blogs, let them know you have nominated them, and put a link to their blog in your post (no tag backs). Nominees must have under 200 followers. You must tell the blogs that you nominate them.

    You'll find your 10 questions on my blog at www.downrightvegan.wordpress.com. I hope you will accept this nomination and participate, but I absolutely understand if you would rather not participate in this. Thank you for your hard work on your blog!

  2. Hello,

    I'd like to get in touch with you but couldn't find your email address.

    My name is Margaret. I'm working with a bunch of other Vegan bloggers to beta test a community chat tool for blogs called Typepath. Vegansaurus, Red Hot Vegans and others are participating and I thought you'd be interested. You have a great blog!

    In short, Typepath lets readers from across the greater vegan community chat in realtime on your blog with readers from dozens or even hundreds of other blogs that share a common interest.

    Please email me and I'll send you more information as well as links to the list of blogs that are currently hosting Typepath.


    You can email me at Margaret [at] typepath.com

    Thanks!
