      Yeah Justin I had to capture it on video. It was a special moment in my travels… I had never done anything like that before. I have 3 words for you YES YOU CAN. You can do it… it’s not that bad.

    Not sure how I would behave before eating my first bugs. I never tried them before, but since I will be moving to Asia soon, there will be more then enough oppertunities to try them out 🙂

    You are hilarious Jaime! Proud of you for trying it, but I really don’t think I’ll be doing any bug tasting on my trip.

    Wow Jaime you’ve been so brave! I never tried a bug but honestly I don’t think I would… well, of course never say never!

    I was just watching the video of you eating chapulines again jajajaja. I still don’t know why you took off the legs, but it was hilarious nonetheless. It is official, you are going back to Oaxaca for sure!!! At least that’s what they say about those who eat the chapulines 😉 It worked for me! I loved going back for a second round 😉 I will always have a very special place in my heart for Oaxaca =)

I agree with it though cus I do know that some day I will be going back to it. Oh & I know you have a special place for Oaxaca in your heart… I’m glad you were able to go back before heading home.

    It’s so funny that you lick your fingers after hesitating to try it. When I first saw the picture on the homepage I thought it was going to be crawfish that you were eating. I love following your adventures. You travel a lot! If you get a chance check out gtrot (www.gtrot.com) which is a social travel site for you to share your trips with your friends!
