Wow, what a day! We have only been here in El Salvador for about 24 hours, but we have already experienced two different host families, visited two volcanoes, and eaten too many delicious pupusas.
We arrived in San Salvador around 9pm yesterday, and were whisked from the airport to beautiful homes for the night. We met this morning at Insaforp, a national workforce training center, and learned all about their programs. Then we toured a volcanic lake, hiked a bit to view two volcanoes, had a nice lunch, visited Santa Ana and its historic theater and cathedral, and tried some local food. Then on to our Santa Ana host families and then to an evening Rotary meeting. The meeting was outdoors in a lush backyard. We did our first GSE presentation here, and it went well. The meal was pupusas, those yummy Salvadorean tortilla-like cakes, filled with meat, cheese, and/or beans. This Rotary club was small, only about 20 members, and very warm and welcoming. Another very full day for us will start early tomorrow.
