WOW!
I visited El Salvador in May, 2010 for ten days. What an adventure! The minute I stepped of the plane, the temperature hit me like a ton of bricks. To live in Ontario, Canada where the temp was mid-teens and then arrive in El Salvador where the temp was mid-thirties to forty, was a BIG SHOCK! The people were amazing and instantly knew I wasn't a local. I stood out looking very different with my blond hair and blue eyes and piercings. I couldn't believe the culture differences. Sharing their country, cities, food, and general surroundings was the chance of a lifetime! The knowledge of what life is like in Usulatan, El Salvador. To experience the majestic dormant volcano in Alegria. What A Visit!!!

Thanks
I absolutely agree with you. El Salvador is awesome and mostly because it is so untouched by tourism---prices are so reasonable and travel is fairly easy. I love all the places you visited and am dearly tied to El Salvador by heritage but all my friends that have gone with me agree that it's the most fun they've had. the literal translation of Pilsner sign is confusing but the idiomatic translation would be: the [or "a"] real beer...i guess playing down other beers. Suchitoto is beautiful and the heart of domestic tourism in El Salvador but there's a small town in the mountains near San Salvador over looking Lake Ilopango. Los Planes de Renderos is beautiful but it's neighbor, Panchimalco boasts the 2nd oldest church in El Salvador. Both are awesome day trips and you can even enjoy zip lining at La Puerta de Diablo, a natural cave and mountain chain over looking 5 volcanoes and a lake...simply ::GASP::

How Beautiful It IS
Hi, I am glad to see beautiful pictures of Beautiful Honduras. My last trip to Honduras , I visited the Isla de Roatan, pristine, tranquil, great beaches, wonderful food friendly people with a broad smile. I was born in Tela, Honduras and grew up with the Caribbean Sea as my backyard, Lined with coconut trees in fruit under the bluest sky. Extremely fine and white sand, piping hot, and as a child, I would have to take a fast dash toward the Ocean from the sidewalk and into the warm blue waters of the Caribbean Sea. I am glad you enjoyed Honduras, it is a piece of Paradise on Earth. Thank you for sharing the pictures of Chauchauate, I have never been there. I know the Garifunda tribes were brought to Honduras by the British, and left there. It was not difficult for the Garifundas to do that, just imagine their happinnes to find this piece of unbelieable beautiful land and live as free people as nature intended.

I have to agree with you
Very nice article. I have to agree with you about Salvadoran people. They're very hospitable and simply authentic! By the way, "La cerveza de verdad" translates to The true beer; not beer of truth. I've tried and it's not bad, especially with seafood, mainly raw oyster (and I mean real oysters, not "Mountain Osyters", like the ones Manolo had).

Your travel
Hi, I have done a bit of research regarding this island. My mother was held captive by a tribe in the Mosquita nearly 25 years ago- this was brought on so much pain for my self and family. The curiosity of these people and their island has plagued me for the last two decades. The more I read, the less pain I feel. Thank you for posting and sharing. :)

You do get to some great sounding, off the gringo trail places. El Castillo sounds cool, I remember you recommending it to me, but we only had time for the main sights. This is another country I'd love to come back to and see properly over a few months. Good luck moving back to London, I'm returning there myself in October.

A great read
Enjoyed your blog, very useful information for us as we're in Nicaragua too right now, and I hope we'll pass by some of these towns over the next week. The volcano boarding looks well, interesting, and I'd like to try the trek around EL Miraflor, hadn't heard of that before.

Hey fella, Just a quick note to say that I've enjoyed reading your blogs while trying to research my itinerary for a central America trip. Stuck over whether or not it's worth starting in Mexico City and working my way down to Guatemala as you have done or just start off in Antigua and do the Spanish classes there? Wotcha think? Cheers, Marty

Hello, I am writing a nonfiction account of a trip down the Patuca River I took years ago. My camera was destroyed when we tipped in rapids and I have very few photos. I would like to use your photo of dugout canoes (attributed of course) in my book. What do you think?
