Benji doesn't particularly like the food here. His preferred diet was rather limited in the states anyway and here it's even more limited. No jelly for his peanut butter sandwiches because they don't have grape jelly. The closest we can find is plum and that's just different enough that he doesn't care for it. The pancake syrup is different. The canned soups are different (I have to agree with him, they are dreadful.). So far, only one kind of cereal that's acceptable. The mayo doesn't taste the same even though it is Kraft brand. The ranch dressing is different. He likes the steaks and the same fresh vegetables that he's always liked. And, of course, he has liked most of the candy he's tasted. Bless his heart, he even happily ate a mixed bean soup I had made the other day and didn't even complain.
No tour at the Botanical Garden for us yesterday. We opted instead to join in an activity with the homeschooling group here. One of the members offered to give us a ride and it's a good thing...I would never have found my way from the train station. We went to Karawatha Forest Park for a Solar Cooking Demonstration. It was wonderful. The couple doing the demonstration was so passionate about the subject....they weren't so much teaching as just talking about something they obviously love to do. All the members of the group were very nice and welcoming. There was a short guided hike where we saw a termite mound up in a tree but no animals other than birds.
