The finally leg of my 2006 South American journey brought me to Bariloche, Argentina.Apparently there are two vegetarian restaurants in this town. However, they were not within distance or timing of my arrival. I did find a restaurant that served vegan pasta and a cafe where you could design your own sandwich. At least, I did not starve. :)The town is simply gorgeous. It resembles an old Swiss

Santiago, Chile..This city is known for fish and seafood, like most coastal regions. My tour group actually stopped at the popular, huge, indoor fish market called "Mercado Central" which contained many cafes and restaurants serving seafood. It first appeared that it would be impossible to find vegan fare here. I walked through cafe upon cafe, row upon row in the central market and no

A couple of years ago my travels brought me to Brazil, Argentina, and Chile. I will talk about my experience in Brazil here. Then in following entries, I will speak of my dining adventures in the other two countries.Obviously I was a little intimidated beforehand, wondering if ANY restaurant options existed there for me. Prior to my trip, I turned to my trusted HappyCow website and found several

When I first heard about the Inca ruins at Macchu Picchu in Peru, I knew that was a place I wanted to visit. In January 2007, I made that dream a reality.My tour included stops in the capital city of Lima then off to the Sacred Valley and Cusco. I found vegan fare along the way.This particular vacation tour was quite filled with activity. During my break time from the tour, I hopped into a taxi

Jazz..Mardi Gras..Bayou Country..Thats New Orleans!Land of gumbo, shrimp, catfish, and alligator..Thats also New Orleans.Fortuneately for vegetarians, there ARE a few dining options.I decided to check out a West African restaurant called Bennachins.Its centrally located in The French Quarter. The unique menu hails from Gambia and Cameroon - my first experience with West African cuisine. For a

Lowell, Massachusetts is a small city with a population of 100,000. Its history is very import to our country. This old milltown with its many factories was a large part of America's industrial revolution. Unions first started in the Lawrence/Lowell area. While Lowell still has that milltown feel, it has also developed into a vibrant, modern city with a popular concert arena, community theater, a

Labor Day weekend 2007..I took a bus tour to Canada. I've always wanted to see Niagara Falls. The 4 day trip I found included not only stops to the Falls but also visits to Toronto and Thousand Islands.Toronto, being a cosmopolitan city had several vegan restaurants. I was thrilled! Fortuneately the restaurant I chose in advance was not too far from where my tour bus stopped for a lunch break.I

Chicago, Illinois..Thats where I ventured during a long January weekend this past year. Again, the HappyCow website led me to some wonderful vegan dining options.I decided to eat at The Chicago Diner. The menu contains vegetarian and vegan items. Its not downtown but a subway ride followed by a short walk proved worth my while. The menu includes shakes & smoothies, brunch (tofu scrambles,

Hi All,Sometimes I hear that people are interested in travelling to particular places but they hesitate going because of the presumed lack of veggie-friendly dining options.This past February I travelled to Egypt for a 10 day vacation. My journey started out as a 5 night Nile River cruise from Aswan in southern Egypt (30 miles from Sudan border) to Luxor in central Egypt. Then my tour group flew

Hi All,When we think of the state of Texas, we think of cattle country. Vegetarians and vegans may shutter at the thought of vacationing in a land where there are presumed to be no plausible dining options. What I have pleasantly found is that is NOT the case! I found SEVERAL vegetarian, even VEGAN restaurants in Dallas proper and the surrounding areas.One of my goals in life is not only to

Hi All,My first dining vacation review is regarding my July 4th week vacation in Trinidad & Tobago.As everyone is well aware, the Carribean islands are known for cuisine that includes primarily fish and other forms of seafood and lots of pork. However, I was able to find some delicious vegan food on my journey!These islands have their own local favorites, not known in the USA. I tried each of the
