Feasting at Food Festivals

One of the more exciting things about traveling to new places (especially for Nadeah) is trying out different foods. Being on the cusp of Asia, we are immersed in a wide variety of amazing foods. On a small island, we weren't sure there'd be a variety of food options. Thankfully we can easily find the ingredients to make foods ranging from Wahoo fish tacos (actually wahoo just caught here in the photo) to Kim Chi to Sushi to Pad Thai. More surprising was finding all we need to make our first ever home made lasagna.







 Street food and festivals with food booths (think state fair) are big here. Thursday night market takes over one street in the city center a few blocks long with our favorites being chicken on a stick, coconut drinks, noodles of all types and boba drinks. This time of year has a few major annual festivals, including the Flame Tree Festival and the Taste of Marianas as well as Charter Day at the only college in Northern Mariana Islands. Native Chamorro, Carolinians and visitors from other Micronesian islands performed all three 3 nights of the free festival.
