El Salvador

and off to El Salvador i went... w/ Abby and Kate

that be me, Kate and Abby left to right plus the guy that rides you to the border behind. you then walk across a bridge from Guatemala to El Salvador. had the worst robbery attempt ever on us at the frontier. a guy that was on bus came up and asked if i could give him a dollar (they use US dollars in El Salvador). when i told him i didn't have change he told me to give him twenty dollars. i said no and then he proceeded to tell me that if i didn't give him some money now he would follow us down the road and steal everything we had. i just told him to wait there and walked ahead w/ the girls. he started following us and i just motioned for him to wait. he did and we got on a bus away from there.

we stayed at this cool hotel w/ all ancient mayan pieces all over and cool set up in El Tunco. one of nights was spent by pool just being stupid for the camera. this one is about a guy on bus that just wouldn't shut up. "you, look at me please", "Abby, listen to me please", "Jack! Jack! you like Lionel Ritchie" (he apparently decided i was Jack after we had told him i was dennis about 3 times)

some Regia, the El Salvadorian VB, was had. the girls rubbing cold bottles of beer all over me. what more could you want ;)

resting up watching a movie (a luxury not usually afforded to us volunteers back in Guatemala). probably Batman Begins, Sleepy Hollow, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory orZoolander. it was a Zoolander quote sort of a holiday.

sunset in El Tunco. one of those rocks looks like an elephant

it's a mer-man! a mer-man!

big surf. there's someone paddling out there. we were actually going to go surfing (i hadn't in nearly three years) but saw a guy come out w/ a broken board and another w/ a cut face. no thanks to massive surf

i don't know what to say. so i'll say nothing about it... oh i do know something to say. Edith Piaf rocks!
