Fascinating photos Doreen - so different from anywhere I have ever been - I love the Meeting House. Great to see local dishes being prepared and then to be able to taste them.

This looks like an interesting place and not so touristy yet. I love the photos, especially the last one!! The food sounds good and you seem to be enjoying it.
