El Salvador, El Tunco

There is a really good crew of travellers and locals here.  The type of people you could talk to for hours and not even think about trying to go anywhere else because you would know that you would be missing out on a good story, a good wave or a good meal that someone is making.  I think that one of the good things about getting older is the ability to recognize when you are there.  We´re there.

Sunsets are gorgeous - possibly some of the best we´ve seen - waves are consistent, internet service is almost at 1995 levels, it drives the younger travellers crazy, but we just think it´s like dial up days. But then hey, they didn´t even know what Three´s Company was.  That´s like not even knowing the area code of your city.




We would write more, but everyone takes a turn at the one shared computer that is brutally slow, until the workers put the new cable back in...... until the next section will inevitably get stolen. 

Logan had a blast in the pool with an Aussie surfer who is headed to med school and is a natural with kids. He and his crew of mates are good for stories.  He took this awesome photo of Logan at sunset. Everyone is very supportive of us travelling with our kids and the kind people help us out, everyone asks for a turn holding Shane and take him to show their friends.  Everyone gets a game going with Logan and have a few words with him in Spanish or ask him questions to get his mind going.

 

The boys are becoming known around town with locals.  Shane is called ¨the dancer¨due to his techno party moves at the restaurant the other night - I assure you, this was all before 7 p.m.

 

There is also a macaw here, which rocks. It is almost the same size as Shane. 

 

I could upload a photo of the waves, but that would take a small eternity and you might consider quitting your job and taking up surfing here as well.  I will however, put up a photo when it gets epically epic.  This place has one of the best waves on the planet, but requires the right swell and we will be ready for it when it arrives.
