La Perla Hotel Leon

... well, really wanted to go again. He also realized that snowboarding<br>is a ridiculous workout. Major bonus points for getting him to move to<br>Breck! I also told him that if he does move to Breck, he could tell<br>everyone he shredded a volcano. Screw knowing math, history, who our<br>President is, or any type or real knowledge, shred cred will get you<br>everywhere in Summit County. <br><br>We headed back to the van, and our guide started harassing me about how<br>I must have relatives ...

... He ordered two main<br>courses and polished them off in record time. I don´t think I´ve ever<br>seen him happier. Well, except for when he talks about the Felice<br>Brothers.<br><br>On another awesome note, as we were walking today, I saw something I<br>haven´t seen in Central America yet - a movie theater! And there´s<br>pretty much nothing I love more than going to movies. Only a few days<br>ago Ted and I discussed my extreme affinity for going to the movies,<br>and he said he ...

... into the ocean throughout the day. By the evening you can walk where the water used to be. So you can be sort of like Jesus for a few seconds. Maybe he used the same method and people saw him from very far away. Very cleaver.<br>I would also like to note that I have changed my opinion on plantains. I don´t know what kind of reject plantains they have been sending to the states but the ones here are amazing. Complete with flijoles and ...

... until supper. Monday´s destination was Zona Rosa, the poshest area of San Salvador and, err, probably the safest (I was seeking the latter). ...On that note, San Salvador is notorious for being an incredibly dangerous city, largely due to the inconceiveably brutal gangs. Something I can say with near perfect certainty is this: San Salvador, and El Salvador generally, is a relatively safe place for tourists. Sure, some areas of San Salvador are incredibly ...

... to back, the conductor kept soliciting more people to get on! They actually go into the crowds looking for more people. And sometimes I swear that they convince people to go places they didn't intend to go! It's a hard sell! I was on that bus for about an hour and got off at the intersection of the highway to La Palma where my next bus awaited me. One guy unloaded my pack and passed it to the guy on the next bus who ...

Friendly El salvador When i heard El salvador is known for the friendliest people in central america, i never understood how friendly they really are... Today i went looking for something that resembles waterfalls during the rainy season, sinces its the dry season its more of cool shapped rocks with some water trickling down. These are suposed to be one of the main natural attractions in the area ...

... The ones that I have been taught since I was a child are dirty and dangerous.. This is my job and my research right now. I have memorized the major pre-colonial civilizations, so I guess that is a step. Haha. I am determined to go back home with a better handle on Spanish as well, so I will look up "desarrollo" tonight in the dictionary, because I forgot what it means. I have noticed that the mountain climate really ...

... los Flores (the route of the flowers). This mountainous region is filled with coffee plantations, waterfalls, and people of seemingly endless talents. We stayed in a town called Juayua (we couldn´t pronounce this until a day or so after we left---"whuh-HI-ya"---leading to several dicey moments getting on the right buses). At the small hotel we stayed in, we were welcomed into an amazing group of friends. Less than four hours after ...
