Day 3-5
We were in
El Salvador from June 17-19. It was great to be home and eat my moms food and
see my sister. Parents are doing well, just always hard to leave them
behind.
We took a "microbus" that picked us up in Antigua at our hotel at 8:00am to El Salvador which dropped us off at hotel Decameron. There my parents were waiting for us.
On the way to El Salvador we met a lady from Finland (I think?!) she was a character. She was on a 2.5 month trip through CA and was stopping in El Salvador for a few days. She had a round nose ring and a few other piercings, red hair and maybe a few tattoos. She may have been called the girl with the dragon tattoo in a previous life. Seriously. We talked for sometime, she explained how she does not like the politics or government in the USA, that she has a layover in Panama on her way back home and that she would AT ALL costs fly through somewhere else but USA. She was quite upset at the fact that once she stopped in USA for a layover and they had to get her fingerprints at customs (normal procedure) and how there is only two political parties vs like 18 that they have in her country. She was anti-religion, and anti many other things. Oh well, I wasn't ashamed of my "And if out God is for us" badge on my bag.
It is this what drives me more to travel the world, because you meet so many people on the way. It's incredible how everyone has different opinions about things. It's interesting that people care so much about the government listening to their conversations, I mean if you're doing things right, then why would you care? I appreciate that the government is watching over and taking care of security issues.
While traveling, meet people, reach out. You would be surprised.

We went
to el Boqueron (San Salvador's volcano) and my school where I attended 13 years
of my life. Saw some of the nouns and professors from school and introduced Greg. We also went to the market in Santa Tecla, I wanted Greg to see this place (inside) because I wanted him to be aware of where people spend their entire lives sometimes! Working there is not an easy thing, working there is crazy hard!
June 17th is Father's Day so we got a nice meal by the beach and at night we celebrated with my cousins and my aunt and uncle. Claudia my cousin brought a cake to celebrate.

It was nice to just sit for sometime, take in the home environment, play with toffie, watch TV and in general relax. Home is where my heart belongs. So many good stories, so many good times, it's hard to believe that I've been gone for 7 years now. I'm getting old....
It was a
great but very short trip to El Salvador. Of course the expected happened: my mom packed me a whole bag with food, from jocotes to Diana chips, to little bread snacks and also peperechas! all of this for the trip to Honduras.
I hope to someday be at least a quarter of caring with my children compared to my mom.
