Wonderful time, learning some traditional dishes.

Jorge did a fantastic job with our market tour and shopping ahead of our cooking lesson at the La Parrilla restaurant. Alex did the driving and made a wonderful habanero and mango salsa while we made guacamole Sopa and enchiladas during our class. AI what a wonderful time. Of the octopus, I thought it was funny. The entire excursion took up a little more than the four hours, which was fine. They were absolutely wonderful and I highly recommend it.
