Just sort of absorbing...

An explosive Christmas in coffeeland
This is a top pick! ... my bathing suit. Even so, the two gringos among the throngs of locals were a source of fascination and amusement, but what´s new? El Salvador doesn´t get the crowds of tourists other countries nearby do, so in some places we really feel like a novelty. ...
Coffee

Racing to the next stage...
... threatening, puff of white smoke. The police escort kept us from going too close to the edge and nulled any potential kidnappings. El Salvador; mean streets, mean topography, lot's of Pizza Huts, Pizza Huts and guns. We were also the inaugural guests of ...
Flowers, wrestling and goats cheese quiche
Apart from the homage to gluttony every weekend, El Salvador's few tourists are concentrated around Juayua withthe aim of zipping up and down the Ruta de las Flores on psychadelic pimped up ex-US schoolbuses. Four or five villages stretch from here to the ...
We came, we saw, we ate...es grandioso!

We're in El Salvador!
Tracy and I finally made it to El Salvador after a couple of excruciatingly long bus rides from Pana that started at 6am. After we finally got to our destination of Santa Ana we were less than pleased, but decided to check out the hostels from the Lonely ...
Election Day
... no food fair, I had a delicious kebob for lunch. I'm glad to have found this place and get a better feeling about El Salvador. It's unfortunate that the city violence mars this country's image because I do think the people here are the finest ...
Waterfalls and Ruins

we made it!
... we've done great. Not having a plan probably sketched out the recent Loyola grad we met at the airport. She assured us that El Salvador is no doubt dangerous, but that we'd be fine to exercise caution, not paranoia. And with profuse gratitude owed to the ...
Food paradise
Juayua's weekly food fair is what inspired me to come to El Sal, so it had a lot to live up to. We made our way down about midday and were greeted by dozens of stalls with delicious smelling smoke wafting out from under their awnings, circling the parque ...
Hot springs, pupusas, and Gregorio's church
We are truly enjoying El Salvador and the interesting people we are meeting. We spent an afternoon with an "international" crew and went on a mini road trip. When I say international, I include the following: 1 Salvadorean and his girlfriend who is now a ...
On the road again

tasty tacos and torrential rain in Juayua
We took a side daytrip from Santa Ana to Juayua, a very pretty little coffee-producing mountain town about an hour's bus ride south (on a very funky pimped-out ex Bluebird US school bus). There was a feria de gastronomia (food festival) going on ...

Juayua
