I had these growing up. I also make a point of trying the local variety whenever I travel. Chocolate-coated marshmallow treats - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Cuban restaurants serving "authentic cuban food" cooked by Jamaicans and Brasilians that you can eat with a glass of Haitian rum that was actually made in the Dominican Republic.

So many to choose from... On the street that a friend lives on they built a new building. Rather than remove the streetlamp pole, they built the balconies around the streetlight. There are one foot square openings in the balcony with the pole coming up through it. I giggle every time I see it.


On Friday night I went to watch and listen to a Diva from the Cape Verde Islands perform in an intact 2100 year old Roman amphitheater.


Salad made from white beans, tomatoes, onion, boiled eggs, parsley, olive oil and tahani paste. It's unbelievably good.


Drivers making a left hand turn from the center lane at a stop light is not at all surprising.


I could go on and on..
