Hello all,
It's been a pretty manic first 10 days. We were lucky enough to find a house on the first day. Photos of which are below, pre furniture. Once we're furnished and it looks a little more homely we'll post some more. It took a few days to sort the contract, but we were moved in by the Thursday, which was nice. Although we were enjoying the facilities at the Holiday Inn, particularly the breakfast.
The day before we had been up to one of the many volcanoes that surround San Salvador. Pictures below. Pretty amazing and so close to where we live. Then some proper sampling of local life watching El Salvador in a world cup qualifier. If they ever make it to the finals this place will just go crazy.
The day after we moved into our new house we went down to the beach and spent the night and spent Saturday there also. Pictures below. Only 30 mins away and virtually deserted. It is the rainy season, but that just seems to mean rains at night sunny during the day. One thing we did notice was the how much hotter it gets at the beach. We live about 900m above sea level which gives us a nice breeze and keeps the temp in the low 30s.
On the way back on Saturday went to La Libertad to visit the fish market, again pictures below. Loads of fresh fish and cheap, cheap, cheap.
Since Monday we've been back to work, 3 days of INSET and today the kids started back.
Feel free to leave a comment or e-mail. Should be getting internet connection at home tomorrow so should be able to start skyping soon.

I too was in a hammock last week but it was in my friend's garden in Peckham...
ReplyDeleteSo pleased you've both settled in so quickly and got a lovely place to shack up in. Very jealous of your adventuring. Me, Tom , Beck and Mauro were in the yorkshire dales this week for Jon's wedding - it was very beautiful.
Speak soon love lolly x
