Discovering hidden gems are what being a food adventurer are all about. At La Chapina, where the Guatemalan natives flock, I got a large plate of savory Guisado Chicken, rice, and black beans for only $8.

Inspirational matador coats and resultant boleros. The ollection included the metamorphic kelly green caterpillar/cocoon cape/dress.
