Counting down to Christmas...

Only 7 days til Christmas!! Its tradition here in El Salvador and most Latin American countries to celebrate it on the 24th...so already we are preparing for it!! We´re looking forward to all the family time we´ll have, food , fireworks that are legal for us to buy at every roundabout in El Salvador.  Most of all, we look forward to remembering the birth of Jesus, the reason for which we have life and purpose in this world!!

El Salvador is a very beautiful place but it has suffered greatly with civil war, earthquakes, poverty, gangs & crime, hurricanes....I hear that Cuba is all the more eye opening. People are limited to what they have...the average wage per month being only $12. Here in El Salvador its about $300 a month....where for some of us, its what we earn almost in a day!!

Anyways...here is Elle´s blog spot...she´s posting up a blog of just photos. So if you want to keep checking it out....visit http://viajando-elle.blogspot.com/
