Today’s almuerzo was at a terrific local place: La Mulata. This is my second meal there, and I recommend it most highly. First a small bowl of soup, then a huge bowl of the famous potato-and-chicken soup, ajiaco, and a tall frosty glass of “limonada de coco,” a lemonade heavily infused with coconut and milk. There are even more tropical fruit juices here than in Bogotá.
Total damage: the equivalent of $5. This place has classy food at bargain prices.

Don’t forget to show us the colorful streets of Cartagena!!!!
Mmmm, that chicken soup looks delectable. I need to travel more. Foods of the world are just too good.
Pshaw. Who needs lizards when you can eat tasty dinosaur flesh?
So, let me get this straight: you had soup, followed by soup?
youp.
The meals you’ve been eating look so damn good. I’d especially like to try some of those drinks.
What kind of soup was the small one? We want details, man!
I wonder how they mix lemonade and milk without curdling the milk. It sounds really good – a little ice cream chain in San Francisco called Uncle Gaylord’s made something called “lotus cream” that was lemon and almond and honey – in a milky base, that is, it wasn’t sherbet. It was soooooooooo good.
