FINALLY, AFTER 8.5 MONTHS I’m referring to Moody Blues as ”home,” thus we were excited to return to lovely Bahía del Sol, El Salvador, and get back to our relatively stressfree livestyle. Speeding through three countries had been interesting, educational, yet surprisingly tiring. We spent our time either swimming in the pool to cool off, walking about 1/3rd mile to the beach to belly-board, handsewing 15 yards of green house screening into a huge awning, and yaking it up with other cruiser’s at the daily happy hour up at the bar/restaurant. Bahia del Sol is a good, safe, easy, interesting hang out for cruisers. If it weren’t for the oncoming wet season we’d stay longer in El Salvador, it’s a beautiful country.

ANTIGUA is antique. Founded in 1543 and served as the colonial capital for 233 years until it was demolished by an earthquake in 1773, which made Guatemala City the capital. The population is now 40,000 and it’s a melting pot of people. Unesco declared Antigua a World Heritage Site in 1979. It is embraced by three volcanos and lots of color.

The town and ruins of Copan, Honduras were funky, wonderous, and spiritual. We loved it. Check it out:
