The food was great.

I found that the poorer the area, the bigger the feast they put on for us. Plates were piled high. You were lucky to get just a sample of everything before you were stuffed. I ate some really exotic stuff, but I'd love to eat the regular fare all the time. I'm looking for some quick, readily available vegetable dishes to cook with my breakfast.
I thought I might lose some weight, only 1.5 lbs, which is nothing. But I lost two inches in my waist. Go figure. We'll see if I can keep it off.
