Sadly, today is our last full day in Utila. This has been a really relaxing trip. We didn't get to see the whale sharks but, that's ok, we'll just have to come back!
There are still street foods left to check off the list, and breakfast is as good a time as any to do that. I walked in to town to bring home a feast!
First stop was a return trip to Thompson's Bakery for some of those cinnamon rolls Andrew loved so much. I didn't realize that they cost 12 lempiras each (which is about 60 cents US), or I would have bought more than I did! From Thompson's, there was a stand about 100 yards up the road that was selling pastelitos, which are little pastry pockets filled with meat & potatoes. Kind of like a big samosa, for those of you familiar with that. Cost for 2 pastelitos = 48 lempira ($1.20)
Last stop, was a baleada stand next to the bank. For 40 lempira ($2), I walked away with two freshly made tortillas filled with beef, beans, cheese, pickled onions and hot sauce. Yum!

I found a tuk tuk to get back home ($2 for just me), bringing the sum total of our entire breakfast for two (and then some, as there are still a pastelito & two cinnamon rolls left) to $7.60. Beat that, IHOP!
