Last weekend we took the two current interns on a retreat to lake Atitlan. On the way home, I looked up and saw a bright yellow sign with black block lettering that said, "La Casa Del Waffle" or "The Waffle House". We made a note then to make sure that we took an adventure there someday.
Usually on Friday nights Michelle spends the night with us, but sometimes we change due to varying schedules. This week, she spent the night with us Wednesday night, which freed up our Saturday morning a bit. Michelle is a girl after my own heart and likes to stay up late and sleep in - so going out to breakfast when she's with us is only an option if we want to deal with a little girl who didn't get all of her beauty rest.
So this morning we left to go check out "La Casa Del Waffle" upon arrival we knew that it would be something that we'd want pictures of, except we forgot the camera at the house. In the parking area there was a handicap parking sign from the city of Phoenix. In front of other parking spots were signs that said "Dale Jr. Fans Parking Only, All Others will be Towed", "Jeff Gordon Fans Parking Only, All Others will be Towed", there was a traditional mail box with numbers on the post and the red flag raised, and a sign that read "For Sale By Owner" just like you'd find in Home Depot. What was extra funny about it all is that no Guatemalan knew what any of it meant. Inside we quickly observed that it's not a place you'd want to eat when it was raining because of the massive holes in the roof. Somehow it seemed fitting. There were various license plates from various states on the walls. Other decorations were an old Singer sewing machine, a fishing rod, cast iron skillets and pots, and lots of framed pictures of the 3 Stooges. The menu also showed their love for the 3 Stooges, Larry, Moe and Curly each had their picture on a page. One wall had various street signs like a yield sign, a stop sign, as well as, a Route 66 sign. It even said "get your kicks on route 66."
As for the food, the menu offered various breakfast with eggs, bacon, sausage, black beans, plantains, and of course waffles. Lee had a pretty traditional breakfast of 2 eggs, black beans, bacon, and a waffle. I had a waffle with strawberries and whipped cream. The food wasn't great, but it wasn't bad, and for about $10 the experience was well worth it.

If you go to Panajachel (sp.?) you've got to try the Texas restaurant. I can't remember the name, but it had similar gaudy decor and pretty good Texas-ish food. It was good for when you get a little homesick. :)
