Preparing the Evening Meal


Marcella, our guide is working hard to tempt our altitude supressed appetites here. Food was very different than the average camping fare we are used to. Soup, meat, potatoes, and hot drinks for dinner. This stove ran on gas and was packed, along with the food by burros or porters. Breakfast was hot drinks, bread, jam and instant oatmeal. Lunch was precooked (in the morning) meat and rice, served cold on the trail. Marcella did all the cooking and dish clean-up. She had a majic pink towel she wiped the cutlery and plates with that must have had incredible disinfectant properties as we never got sick, even after the towel had been used for 7 days without a washing!
