We're sitting here in El Salvador after typico comida by the pool (that we can't swim in). The plane rides over here were uneventful, and we didn't have any problems getting through customs. After the airport we dropped off our bags at our lovely Hotel Grecia Real. We were driven over to the Universidad Evangelica de El Salvador to meet up with old friends and receive a tour of their nursing program. We all decided that the human cadavers and buckets of preserved body parts were awesome! The students and faculty were lovely and very welcoming. We're all excited to spend more time with them over the next few days. After the University we went to get some supplies (bottled water and snacks) at Metro Centro which is a local shopping mall. We happened to run into the couple that was supposed to meet up with us in one of the aisles... they stood out as did we! We all trouped back to the hotel. Some of us decided to take a short nap and others decided to be brave and check out a cute little coffee shop down the street.
To recap we made it here safe, and we're having a wonderful time. The people are wonderful, and we're ready to get some sleep, so we can have another adventure tomorrow.
Yay! You are there! How exciting it all sounds!!! Thank you for the blog and pictures already!
