Eating Through Aruba

Sorry to disappoint, but I honestly didn't eat anything super interesting in Aruba.  But I did my best to log my gastro-journey across the small island of Aruba for you.

Our most delicious meal was the pork ribs and grilled chicken we ate at the flea market!
 

Our most creative meal was the triple decker ham & cheese sandwiches we made in the car using ingredients we bought from one of the countless Chinese-owned super markets we drove by. 
We scarfed the sandwiches down, so sorry no pictures.  But here's a picture of the view from the top of mountain peak where we ate them!
 

Our most memorable meal was our dinner at Marandi to celebrate MrMC's birthday!

We discovered that it was somewhat difficult to define Arubian cuisine.  We thought there would be more Caribbean or South/Central American influence, but we found that their menus (even in the local joints) were mostly burgers and sandwiches.

But regardless, we had a great time in beautiful Aruba - relaxing on the beaches, driving around the entire island, wading crystal waters, and photographing some incredible parts of the island! 

 Oh, Aruba.  I miss you already!

Happy Birthday, MrMC :)
