I made it!

I´m in El Salvador! 

I made it here safe and sound.  My flight from Houston to San Salvador had to be rerouted a little because of bad storms over Guatemala so we were a little late.  I went through customs without a problem and Pastors Matias and Martina and their granddaughter were outside waiting for me.  We drove back to Apopa (the town where they live) which took about an hour.  I was somewhat pleastantly reminded of the crazy roads and the crazy way Salvadorans drive.  The traffic signs and stoplights mean very little which means it´s always an adventure!

I spent most of the afternoon relaxing, reading, and rearranging my stuff in my suitcases.   I was very tired after my journey and from leaving my house at quarter to 4 this morning.

For dinner Martina and I walked down the street a little ways and bought some pupusas from a very friendly lady.  They were just a delicious as I remmber them!!  Pupusas are thick corn tortillas stuffed with some combination of beans, cheese, and meat.  I had ones with beans and cheese.  You dip them in a tomato sauce and it is so delicious and filling.

I don´t really have much else to write at this point, but I just wanted to let you all know that I made it here fine and it´s good to be here!
