Superbowl & Snakejuice
We tracked down a place in Vilcabamba to watch the Superbowl. A restaurant near our hostal called Ashanta's. Ahsanta's is a fabulous bar/restaurant run by a wonderful Ecuodorian couple. The husband has a big moustace and wears a cowboy hat, and the walls are covered with the skeletons of animals, mostley snake jaws and snake skin. The highlight (or lowlight depending on how many you have) of any visit to Ashanta's, and really Vilcabamba, is the ?Snake Juice?. Snake juice is actually primarily cane alcohol but mixed with a very little snake venom. In fact it ferments in a jar with some snakes. This is strong stuff, they claim it's 75% alcohol though I don't how they possibly measure it so it's my guess it's anywhere between 50 ? 80 percent. Now also ?one? shot is poured into something more like a jigger, or about 2 or 2 ? shots worth. This stuff kicks a bit going down, but the real kick is about ? hour later when it really steps in. There's even some colours that go along with it. Needless to say it was a good Superbowl although a shame the Panthers lost, it was close and a good game. We also played some drinking Jenga. They call me the Architecto, Good times.
