San Salvador, El Salvador:
Our plane is leaving in about 90 minutes and we're in the waiting area...waiting. There is a huge window in front of us through which we can see the beautiful flora of San Salvador. There are tons of trees out there and it looks like it is probably humid and warm, although the waiting area is cool and dry. I want to explore the city, to run around outside after having sat all day... although we're still in the Northern hemisphere, it looks like it could be Summer out there. (Maybe it'll actually be too hot when we get to South America?) I am very excited, but at the same time nervous. It's been a long time since I've been here (or rather, in South America) and my Spanish is much worse than it once was. Regardless, I want to travel and improve my Spanish (and "Chilean"). Jay is being a great sport - He's trying to communicate in Spanish and is even practicing with the Salvadoreans. He just bought "Narnia: El León, la Bruja, y el Ropero" and he's putting a lot of effort into understanding it.
The televisions here are all programed to the same station of Christian music videos... It's quite terrible and Jay thinks it's actually more in the realm of "musac". On the plus side, one advantage of our 5-hour layover here is that I've had time to perfect plans A, B (in case we don't get into Brazil), and then C and D as well, just for funsies. So, if we can't end up going to Carnival, at least we'll have a tempting consolation prize of more time in Chile (Chiloé, Santiago, Atacama), Bolivia (Lake Titicaca), and Peru (Puno, Cusco, Huaráz, Iquitos) before heading off to Venezuela.
