Dream Trip 2009

Great Travel Moment

I was visiting an indigenous community in Ecuador during my winter break, in an area known for its beautiful Andean landscapes. However, my favorite photo of this trip is not of mountains, it is of the indigenous women preparing a community dinner on a Sunday parents' meeting outside the local school, on a bonfire. The women were kind enough to let me photograph their cooking. The smells, the crackling fire and the constant stirring and toasting of peanuts will forever be in my mind. I even had a taste of roasted guinea pig!
