When I travel I tend to focus on natural history and not the cultural history of the locale which I am visiting. When I remember, I try to sample the local food offerings. Staying away from the places mentioned in guide books, I tend to focus on the local eateries, markets, and fruit and vegetable stands. The following pages reflect that orientation.
