More Travel Pictures

I think I have things under control now, but who knows? 

Anyway, after we saw all the ruins, the next day was spent looking at volcanos and seeing the cloud forest.  It was pretty overcast and misty, but we saw some amazing stuff.

This is a cloud forest - it was all jungle and forest as we climbed up the volcano.  Climbed isd prob ably too strong a word, we actually hiked.  Or walked, Or strolled.  which ever works. 


El Salvador grows a lot of coffee.

Yes, I suppose I am a bit obsessed with foood.

Here is our driver and friend, Ernesto at the waterfall.
 A couple of kids playing - see the next picture as well.

                                   


Here I am enjoying the falls.


Here is Mike doing the same thing.



Another waterfall shot.



San Salvador from the top of a volcano.

Here is a volcano as seen from our hotel room in San Salvador.

 So all and all it was a wonderful trip.  I can hardly wait to go backand see more.

We have also talked about going into Zacatecaluca for shopping - taking the bus and all.  It is also where we go to pick up mail.  So here are some pictures of that process. 

Here is where we walk to change buses - you just hop off and hike up this hill.


Here is the crowded bus,  Sometimes people bring their chickens, but not this time. Mike does not mind the crowds!

Here is Zacatecoluca.

And again.  I think this was the trip we got rained on - see the storm brewing? 


And this must be the best way to travel that I have seen yet- setting up a hammack in the back of a pickup truck.

 So that is it for now.  I hope tbhis sort of shows where we are and what we are doing.  I just love it here.

"The best day of your life is the one on which you decide your life is your own. No apologies or excuses. No one to lean on, rely on, or blame. The gift is yours - it is an amazing journey - and you alone are responsible for the quality of it. This is the day your life really begins."  (Bob Moawad)
