American Food Elsewhere

Today, we went to a restaurant called Hippo's that was pretty close to the hotel. It was American. I didn't think I'd know what an American restaurant really was but when you find one in Nicaragua, you know. They had curly cheese fries, potato skins, several burgers, and clam chowder. I had a blue cheese burger with curly fries and clam chowder. The burger was pretty good although the blue cheese was not very blue at all. The clam chowder tasted as if it came from a Campbell's can. Oh well.

Was it full of Americans?

Nope. We were trying to figure out what one table was. We ended up deciding they were either French, Dutch or E. Europeans.

Was it decorated like a diner? The American restaurants we went to in Athens and Amman when we were completely homesick looked like diners...

None of these would have cured my homesickness. There really hasn't been anything foodwise here to visit for. Maybe the fruits, but there are other places to go.
