El Salvador adventures!! 1/ 2017

To the village for our cooking class.
Jairo gave us a ‘lesson’ on how to make Papusas!!!
Yeah, they weren’t round.

Quite edible, though the other couple folks there said they’d prefer those that Jairo made!
Not a bad form of transportation, huh?!
Relaxed and content.

An excursion to a coffee Finca (plantation) around 5 hours from Bahia Jaltepeque, in a general NW direction. First, a stop at the beach surf village of Playa El Zonte for a traditional breakfast and a beach walk (the Auntie of the driver we’d hired ran the place. His cousin was the local surf hero).

Maddi sized passages through these wave worn rocks.

On the drive up to the coffee plantation we passed this mound of color and I first thought it might be recycled glass. I asked Enrique if we could remember the exact spot and stop on our way back. On the sign it says, ‘Protect our environment.’  The material is shredded plastic. Although they are recycling, this endeavor sits alongside a busy road with countless trucks flying by to disperse untold amounts of the stuff into these beautiful agricultural hills. Well, one bag less, as I bought some for a mosaic (which will hopefully address the scourge of said plastics).
