El Salavdor Rocks - Blogabond

Hey there! Well I´ve been letting the blog slip a little. Partly because the internet is costly, the connections is not very good, I risk losing what I type due to a power outage and I´m having to much fun to be sitting in front of a computer!
I forgot to write about one of the most amazing parts of the trip. On Sunday the 8th I climbed Pakya just outside of Antigua. It is an active volcano with a continous lava flow. It was amazing. I stood 2 feet from flowing molten lava! It was incredibly hot, I only stood there long enough to get a picture and then had to move. It felt like the camera would start melting.

For the last few days now Em and I have been on the south coast of El Salvador in La Libertad at Playa El Tunco, a cool beach town. There are at least 20 seperate beaches down the coast line. I´ve given surfing a go and really enjoy it. It´s going to take a long time to get good at it though. The waves are huge right now due to the full moon. I went out the first two days we were here but haven´t gone out since. I´m going to go out tomorrow though, it´s suppose to clam down. Em and I decided to skip Belize and spend a few less days in the Carribbean so we could stay here longer. El Salvador is beautiful, the people are great, the weather is amazing and it is very inexpensive unlike the rest of the places we have been. We are staying in a hostel for 14 dollars a night which includes internet, and a kitchen so we can cook our own meals. That alone saves us an incredible amount of money.

We´re having a great and very lazy time right now.
