El Salvador

 

Below is a gallery of photographs from a trip I took to El Salvador.

I had the opportunity to stay at a home in the town of San Vicente.  Travelling here

was quite an experience, sleeping with ants in my bed, rats on the tin roof, and

chickens roosting in the place I took my bath.   

The people were very nice and prepared some delicious meals from local fresh

ingredients.     I was amazed at the color and flavor of the fresh tropical fruits, including

mangos, watermelon, and coconuts.    The fresh-squeezed orange juice was the sweetest

and most delicous I have ever had!

 

On of the most amazing places I visited was Amapulapa.   It was a large swimming pool

with waterfalls that was created out of a natural stream.    There were even fish living in

this pool surrounded by lush tropical vegetation.   

 

There are beautiful country vistas inland, and beaches with big waves along the coast.

Pictured you will see the volcano of San Vicente, and Lake Apastapeque where they

raise fish in corales.   The fisherman holds a net in his teeth and throws it out to

catch our dinner!!
