Hotel Via Luz San Salvador

... after dark. I had originally planned to stay on the bus into the city centre and stay in one of the hotels around there but after the majority of the bus including every foreigner got off in San Benito on the outskirts of the city, I thought it best to re-evaluate my plans. After talking to the bus driver who advised me to stay in San Benito, I quickly grabbed my stuff and hot-tailed it off the bus. Fortunately the only hotel around the bus stop wasn't too bad and ...

... too :( ... In front of the nurse as well as all of the high school kids who were watching me. Slightly embarrassing. However... good learning experience; I don't think I would ever have the chance to do such hands-on work if I had not signed up for this trip!!<br><br>-Also this afternoon I did two more postpartum visits. One of them was with a woman who had a C-section 7 days ago. I was put in charge of cleaning the C-section wound and also shadowing ...

... manners of female anatomical pleasures. Yes, San Salvadorans (assuming they understand English) were learning that women from the American 'hood take it in three different orifices according to the lyrics. If this song is any indication, I now know how so many of these well-mannered, educated and just all-around delightful young women end up on the Maury Show ten times each looking for their baby daddies.<br><br>Oh what an fantastic adventure being a thug or ...

... in his shorts!!<br><br>During the meeting everyone was expressing so much gratitude and saying they were honored by our presence. Marlon was our translator. I raised my hand and he called on me so I told the group in Spanish that we are the ones who are grateful to them, and it is an honor for us to be so welcomed by them into their community. They all clapped and smiles all around. They do like it when you speak Spanish!<br><br>There was ...

... br> <br> Today, my first official day in El Salvador was fantastic! Most of the children in my family are going to a new school this year, which is about a 25 minute bus ride from the house. So, at 6 this morning we left to take them to school. They definitely need to be escorted by more than one person I think, because just walking down one of the streets to the school, every other wall was graffitied with "MS" and "Salvatrucha" which represents the gangs in ...

... houses. The trip was up an inactive volcano Guazapa and was excellent but harrowing. The mood was lightened entirely by my horse Pichel though. Even though it was my first time on a horse I was very comfortable and tried to get it to go fast as soon as I got on it. It wasn´t up for it though and trudged along miles behind Lucy and our guide from the off, stopping every few yards to eat mangoes or take a dump. It refused ...

... br>At this point Ed is asking me to write in reply to those of you who keep asking if he has developed any spiderman qualities after his bite incident. He would like to say not especially, although I do drive him up the wall sometimes and he does enjoy wearing lycra from time to time, and he also does spend a lot of time on the web! I know, he's an idiot! I'm the one who has to put up with him though, so send your symathies in my direction!

... neck on waking in Suchitoto! It is our way to walk round and round checking every accommodation in town in till we find one that fits. NEVER have we been so successful. Immediately loving the beautiful cobbled white washed colonial splendour. We found Villa Balanza a restaurant a few blocks back from the square and serving some good food. Enquiring about rooms Nadia tottered off out the back with the proprietor soon to return ...

... Paradis peut etre, mais encore une fois surement pas en cette periode de l'annee. Il fait gris, meme couleur que celle du sable, les seules attractions sont le marche (on a fait le tour en 30min) et le surf effectivement, et rien n'est ouvert apres 7h du soir. Rien n'est ouvert a part l'eglise.... Surpris par tant d'animation dans ce village de morts, nous jettons un oeil a l'interieur, temps suffisant au frere Miguel pour nous attraper et nous planter au ...

... to the fat, bald Jew that tends to be found writhing around on top of her. But Miranda? Miranda the cold, pasty, strange haired, abnormally long necked wench with the untrimmed pubic hair? Well it goes without saying that we are treated to a full frontal shot of her moaning in ecstasy, whilst that strange little hairy man can be spotted thrusting away in the background. Thanks a lot. Anyway, after the movie I headed back to the hotel / restaurant that I was staying at to get a bite ...
