We're vegans!

Well, good for you. . .

We get a fair amount here at the hotel and they always seem very impressed with the fact that they are vegans.

Not a problem, as we can get powdered soy milk and give them granola and plenty of fruit at breakfast.

In Costa Rica, though, veganism is very much a foreign concept. We have a friend that is a vegan and speaks fluent Spanish, and she still finds some meat, cheese, eggs, etc., in her dishes as the Ticos take pity and figure she can't afford any animal protein.

The guests currently have been facing the same challenge, though they don't speak a lick of Spanish. Despite a quick tutorial on different foods and their Spanish names, they are still struggling a bit.
