Bay of Turtles: Bahía de Jiquilisco, El Salvador
To arrive to a new place in the dark is like tasting a new food with a blindfold on. You can feel the edges, but a full color appreciation isn't possible until daylight arrives. Night time in the small town of La Pirraya on an island in Jiquilisco Bay is quiet; the fishermen and their
families gather in small compounds preparing the days catch and saving energy
for an early rise the next day. But hiding outside the lights of the town is

My bosses went on vacation, school let out, and people just hung around for ...

A few people and I hired a truck and bought $500 worth of electric materials, cement, iron bars, etc. to get the refurbishing underway.
