Aaron in the central square in Juayua with his coconut water in a bag. They serve everything from coffee, water, to coconut water out of a bag....and even cerviche.
A Salvadorean snack. Fried corn on a stick with cheese, mustard, and hot sauce or ketchup. We did not try this, only borrowed someone for a picture...
We did find a place in Santa Ana for Aaron to get his machete sharpened.
The town where they make hammocks...no matter what size you need!
July 14-July 15
Tuesday, July 14 we set off from Suchitoto heading towards Santa Ana, our pit stop before Guatemala, stopping for a detour to Concepcion Quezaltepeque along the way. This is the town were most of the hammocks in El Salvador are made. Santa Ana is another old colonial town and the 2nd biggest city in El Salvador. It wasn't quite what we expected, not really being set up for tourism at all. It was difficult to find hotels or even restaurants. The next morning we visited the ruins of Tazumal, and a small town called Juayua. Juayua is a small colonial village surrounded by coffee fields and volcanoes. It was a neat place to stop for lunch along the Ruta de Flores.
I will be traveling with a group of rtists and poets to Quezaltepeque in October. Can you comment about the arts community in the area?
