First post of May... 16 days into the month
Wow, slow month in posts. One reason is that I've been out of town for a couple of the weekends and super busy with work during the weekdays. We just got back yesterday from El Salvador, where one of my cousins was getting married. A few quick observations so that I don't put off blogging for a long time and not get around to it:
- It would have been a lot more convenient and safe if we spoke Spanish.
- Gas was actually more expensive in San Salvador than in Seattle
- The people who we spoke to from El Salvador were all really nice and friendly and welcoming (except the one crazy guy on our trip to the country - he was quite scary)
- Lots of trash around. Some looks like just litter, other looks like trash bags broke open and no one cleaned it up.
- Security and razor wire would apparently be great businesses to be in.
- The jungle/bush/wilderness we drove by/through was really cool and beautiful. It reminded me of stuff you see in the movies, and made me wonder how people can actually walk through there
- Amazing humidity and heat walking off the plane onto the jetway - at 6AM! It hit you like a wave, and you could smell the humidity.
- Being bumped to first class for the San Salvador to LAX flight was much nicer than the rest of our flights on the trip :)
- LAX is quite possibly one of the crappiest airports I've flown through. How is it that major airport and hub has such lousy facilities???
More to come later (pictures).
