The food we ate represented the accessibility to the item that day. If the fishermen were lucky, we ate fish and if they weren't we ate rice. Regardless of what we craved, mother nature had a plan and the villagers taught us to be thankful for anything she gave us. On one of the first days the members of the experience had the opportunity to spend the morning with women from a nearby village as they prepared some everyday dishes. These dishes consisted of a wrapped fish and a type of leaf stuffed rice called Juane.
