Another day in El Salvador

The second day started early, we went to a big volcano called El Boqueron. My cousin invited us to his home for this vacation, his house was our center of operations. He had promised us that if we got to El Salvador, our money was not going to be good there. He did. His wife is a top Civil Engineer, one of the top engineers in the country and had constructed many housing complexes through out the country. They have two sons, both were perfect and treated us as royalty.
Back to the Volcano, the name meas "the big mouth." It last erupted in 1917 and it was a big one, lava beds are all over the place and my little girl got one rock to bring home. Getting up there was a trip from hell. it is a 45 degree incline all the way up. Of course that there were people selling all kinds of stuff on the road. Not along side the road, they were selling the stuff on the road, all the way up.


It was a long way up, we went to the peak where we were able to see the crater and take tons of pictures. I told my little girls that we were not to leave the house with at least two cameras.
Everything that goes up, must go down. YES, gravity is the weakest force in the universe but when it pulls, you go down. We went down in first gear, about 15 minutes in first gear, fighting the sellers on the road and one drunk bastard that passed out on the street.

After the volcano we went to the Ruins of San Andres. The Pipiles; Mayan indians, were the first ones in the Americas to abolish human sacrifice. Also the Pipiles were never a peaceful people, and my little part of the world has only seen peace until 10 years ago.


After that we went home to shower and go to the party..... That will be another entry.

Thanks for reading.
