el salvadoring for the third time

went to El Salvador for my third time at the beginning of June. another stay at El Roble, Darren and Seka's great hostel in San Diego (La Libertad), w/ a crew of great people. some of us hanging out for a last time together before leaving Central America...
Narda gave me three little bobblehead turtles. muchas, muchas gracias Narda.





flipping kids... big, big mistake as once you've done it the first time they just want more and more. sure, they don't get tired ;)
