Alright, I´m here in San Migel. No pics to post....Í´m at an internet cafe.
The trip here was not to bad. Airtran from LGA to Virginia sucked. The terminal I was flying out of, with Luz ha no monitors to check flight status and the Airtran folks had no desire to answer one simple question. ´What´s the status of flight 915?´ 4 people were behind the counter. One told me to go to the next line (not moving, about 20 people waiting). I explained that I have a stroller and it took me 20 minutes to get through the crownd to the desk, due to the bottleneck in the terminal. He said, go to the next line and I will help you. I said ¨No!, this is a simple answer. I´m notwaiting through another 30 minute line to find the status of a flight that is supposed to leave in 10 minutes¨. He said nothing. I yelled towards the crowd, the same question. All passengers shrugged. One of the Airtran reps looked up and said aprox. 7pm. I said ¨Thank you, that´s all I needed to know¨. I then remembered that I can check status on my phone via internet. Duhhhh!!!!
I stayed a few days in Virginia and snuck out 2am Monday to hit my Salvadoran flight. I met up with Claudia and her Mom in Houston, then off to San Salvador.
We´ve only visited family and will probably roll some video this weekend and next week. We my or may not got to Guatamala City, due to the crimes tht have ben committed in Guatamala recently. Honestly, Claudia & I think it´s all Random. Just like visiting Bronx won´t get you held up or murdered. Not every Guatamalan is looking for someone to mug.
I´ve been enjoying delicious home cooked meals and relaxing in a hammock. A few people have given me big smiles as if i were a Celebrity. One even referred to me as ¨Grigo¨. ¨Hola Gringo!¨ I smiled....I mean, I am a Gringo.
San Migel is overlooked by a Volcano. I will share the pics when I et back. Hopefully we will go hiking up there in the next few days.
Until something else happens, Ciao for now.

So, what's the biggest surprise/stereotype-destroyer for you at this point...regarding El Salvador?
Are you carrying a sword in your pocket for which you can't do much with...because no privacy in the bdrm or bth...and for which all of the female species are rockin' jeans tighter than any other jeans you've seen in your life...and it's got you to the point where you're even looking at horses that stroll by...and dudes...and so on?
