After spending 6 days in France in my family and 6 days in New York, we are back "on the road". We reached El Salvador on Friday. To be honest, we didn´t plan to stop by this country, but our plane ticket to Peru had a free (or almost free) stop over. So far, we haven´t been disappointed. All the people we´ve met are extremely nice, perhaps because the country doesn´t have many tourists. In two days, I don´t think we have met any other foreigners in San Salvador.
Yesterday, while we visited the city, we stopped for lunch at a restaurant, where the owner, and El Salvadorian, spent 20 years in the US. He fought the war in El Salvador and then moved illegaly to the US through Mexico. He reached New York, where he found a job washing dishes, and made his way up and ended up working as a chef for the... Republican Club! Full of his experience, and some money, he came back to his country recently to start a new restaurant and be closer to his family. Very nice guy... got us a lot of free drinks and food.
Today, we rented a car and are hoping to drive around this small, but beautiful country, see some of the volcanoes and colonial cities. Tomorrow, we will probably drive to the beach.
