This didn't start out to be a post about climate change. It began as a post about picky eating.
For those of you who are familiar with Jason and his eating habits, he has (thankfully) added a new food to his repetoire - peanut butter and honey sandwiches. A week ago, he wouldn't touch peanut butter; now he proclaims it as one of his new favorite things.
This may seem trivial, but with Jason, it's all about trying to find sources of protein. Vegetarian by choice, he's been eating lots of plain pasta with butter, flour tortillas, and white rice since we left the States. He eats plenty of fruits and vegetables, but protein is a challenge - so far, it's been handfuls of nuts, yogurt and milk. At home, he eats a jar of either almond or soy nut butter per week - which are definitely not available on the road.
Our daughter will happily chow down what we call "kid food" in the States - chicken nuggets, grilled cheese sandwiches, pizza, and the occasional carbon-intensive hamburger. Jason? None of the above.
At any rate: we came back through San Jose for a few days before leaving for Peru, and we went to an excellent exhibit on climate change at the National Museum.
