Hola,

It's been a while and life goes on in El Salvador.

At long last our shipping has turned up, 3 months after we waved goodbye to it in London. Our house is now starting to look a bit more like home now. We've done some decorating and added some colour to our previously all white house. Also got some pictures up which makes a big difference.

El Salvador's World Cup bid ended in disappointment. A 4-1 defeat to Mexico was the knockout blow. We went to the stadium for there last game against Honduras. Big local derby so it was a sell out, but there was nothing to play for although Honduras won and ended up qualifying for the World Cup so good for them.

My attempts at surfing are going well and I actually managed to stand up on the board and not fall off instantly this weekend. I'm getting advice from one of the parents in my class who owns a surf lodge. I haven't cracked the big waves yet, but you gotta start somewhere.

We are off to Nicaragua, in a couple of weeks for the half term holiday. So we'll get some photos on the blog when we get back.

Ben & Sim
