El Salvador

FINALLY Nona and I got to go to El Salvador! 

The trip from Guatemala to El Salvador is about 5 hours. To get there it took us a full 6 hours. There was a truck accent which caused us a 30 minute pit stop (in the middle of no where). The truck was slanted on an angle, taking up the whole road, causing hundreds of people to wait in the heat.    

After the ordeal with the truck, we had to get through immigration. I have never seen a line so long in my life. There were semi trucks lined up for at least 10 miles, minimum.  Good thing we had a crazy driver that just drove on the other side of the road ALL the way up to the immigration window. We ended up having to get out of the car due to more traffic and we walked across the Guatemala-El Salvador boarder. 

The beach was very refreshing after a 6 hour shuttle ride. Unfortunately we couldn't stay in the  water for long period of time due to jelly fish, but there were still a lot of people swimming and surfing. We saw people leaving the water limping and pointing to their stings. I had jelly fish less than 6 inches from my legs and I was running. 

Good thing we had a pool we could swim in without jelly fish! And when we didn't have the pool to ourselves, it was full of surfer men. Tough life. 

Our hotel was awesome. Great location, great prices and great company.  I played the role of translator a lot, there weren't many people who could speak Spanish. 

 
The streets of El Tunco. Overall prices were so cheap! A meal was about $4.00, a beer $1.50 -$2.00, a room on the water $10.00, earrings $1.00! Minus all the heat at night I was in paradise.
