No, it is not only a delicious brunch food. This department of Guatemala is pronounced Kee-chay, and it is beautiful. Quiche is a large department, bordering Mexico on the North side. I was able to stay with another volunteer who lives up there. He lives 45 minutes down a dirt road in the back of a minitruck. It is wonderful and peaceful there.
We caught a ride and were dropped about 25 minutes from Nic's village. From there, we took a path leading up, with the next mountaintop as our destination. We didn't quite make it to the top because we stopped to soak in the sun in this beautiful meadow.
With madrones, pines and a type of alder bearing crispy leaves, this trail fixed my craving for fall hiking in the Northwest. I even had a northwestern friend to share the time with, you can tell by the beard, the plaid and the carrharts.
