Here are a few pictures in random order, ones I would have posted while on the road if had been possible.You'll note that my technical abilities are on the sorry side, so it's not laid out as well as I'd have liked. The one above is probably my favorite shot from the whole trip. The purple off to the side melts me every time I look at it.
Everyone carries things on their heads. Food, wood, clothing. All of it. It's an art, and it's amazing.
This is the cafe of a guesthouse we stayed at for a few days. All of the cafes are open air, but this one was on an orchid farm, and much consideration went into it's ambience. It was quite lovely there. I think I liked staying here best of anyplace we visited. It was a really beautiful spot high atop a mountain.
J took the picture while I was out swimming with the Canadians and the children. We came in just as the sun was setting while the men sat on the beach and watched the sun dip behind the jungle.
This was the entrance to a guesthouse we stayed in for a night. Each of the rooms are named after an El Salvadorian poet or author. The rooms were incredibly tiny - ours held a double bed and barely enough room to walk around one side of it. We sat in those chairs drank beer and played chess one afternoon.
Below is the Parque Central in Suchitoto, but most towns are organized the same way with the church being the center of town and everything fashioned around it. This was a particularly lovely spot, and for an extra bonus we got to hear Sunday mass (from outside, while drinking coffee).

Thank you for asking to see pictures. El Salvador is many things, and has had a long and difficult road, and it was terrific to spend some time inside it's borders.
