Happy August!!! Wow, how time has flown…I think that part of me wants to continually add to this journal so that all my memories will last for a longer time. But I know that my memories are not words on this website, but are in my heart forever. It has only been a couple days since my last entry, but those couple days have been priceless. I went dancing at La Luna (a discoteca in San Salvador) on Friday night because Ashley’s boyfriend’s band was playing. It was so much fun!!!
And then I came back to my home on Saturday for a day full of tradition – there was a horse race in Garita Palmera! It was such a blast to see everyone decked out for a day of horse racing. I actually got to mount a horse for the first time!!
Sunday was full of fun and entertainment, well, actually, I wasn’t feeling too hot, but we went to mass and afterwards went to the beach to bring the hamaca that Don Jesus made to the señor at the beach. Where we ended up racing on the beach and then going to eat pupusas. It was such a good family time. And I love the sky at night here, there are more stars than anyone who lives in the states can imagine!!
Today I came to San Salvador for the second to last time. But on the way here, Reynaldo (my brother) and I went to this really cool parque with natural pools and waterfalls throughout it. We actually had some good conversations about the war, the political system here, and life in general.
I have one thing that I will always say about El Salvador: This country is so freaking beautiful. That was all I could think as I rode the bus into the city and watched the corn fields on the mountainsides and the sugar cane fields along the road…This country is so freaking beautiful.
