Going on vacation!

Hi, everybody,

I’m packing my backpack to leave for my 2 week backpack travel to Guatemala tomorrow! Ooh whoo! : ) 2 weeks travel is not that long, but my heart is beating now because of too much excitement!

I will try out authentic Guatemalan food as much as I can during my trip, and of course I want to meet local people, see beautiful scenery, and eat delicious food!

I won’t take my laptop, so I will check my email at an internet PC room if I can.

Even though I don’t answer you promptly, and there will be no new recipes for a while, please understand.

    Beautiful cake and beautiful wrapping. Where did you get your tea cup? I am getting tired of using the stainless steel strainer.

    Hope your vacation brings you as much enjoyment as we get from watching your cooking videos and learning about Korean cooking.

    Have a safe and exciting adventure! You will be missed while you’re away, but I’m also anticipating a new Korean-Guatemalan fusion dish in the upcoming month… maybe!!

    Warm wishes!

    I hope you have a GREAT trip and I’ve lived there before. I know you didn’t ask, but my 2 cents … be careful of the water you drink and the veggies you eat that are washed in the water. Some tummies are more resilient than others, but it was an amazing “weight loss plan” for me, if you know what I mean, but it wasn’t a fun way to get thin at the time :)

    I hope you take photos to share with us!! :)

    Guatemale is an interesting choice, be sure to bring back stories and pictures and perhaps a recipe :)
    Have a great time!
