We're back with more photos snapped during our travels throughout El Salvador! We hope that you will enjoy the beauty of the country and get a good laugh at some of our everyday encounters!

In the 1st photo you can see a very overloaded truck, but got give them credit, it's packed very neatly!

In the 2nd photo, can you see how resourceful this person was, by using wood to build up the sides on the truck, before stacking all the firewood in??

The 3rd photo shows one of the little red, 3 wheel taxis that drive people around, all over the place, and especially in El Congo, where we pass through on our way to the camp, at least 2 days a week. They're cute, but really can be a nuisance, as they often time will pull right out in front of us going about 2 miles an hour!!

Our last photo is another beauty......showing off more of our many volcanoes!

Just a side note: The police will ticket you if you are driving a vehicle without your seatbelt on, or if your windows are tinted too dark, BUT take note of some of the vehicles that I've taken pictures of! Lol! These vehicles drive right by the policemen, with no problems!!

The Sights of El Salvador

There are so many sights to see in El Salvador! We have learned to carry a camera with us, every everywhere we go, because there are so many different things we encounter on a day to day basis, that are so worth sharing.....at least we think so!!

We are blessed to live in such a beautiful country, yet, at the same time, there are so many "different" things that we see, that make us chuckle, or at times pray!! For example, I saw a young family on a motorcycle one day, dad driving with his helmet on, mom behind him with no helmet, and a little girl, no more than 2 years old, up in front of the handle bars......no lie! I didn't get a picture, because I immediately started praying for that little one's protection!

So, I think we'll make this a series, and post new pictures as we take them, to give you a better perspective on what it's like living in a third world country.....get ready to take in it's beauty, or laugh a little, and maybe even say a prayer!

In the 1st picture are some of the many beautiful mountains that we see all around us, with a volcano about 1/4 of the way in from the left side. There are many volcanos here in El Salvador, too.

The 2nd picture is breathtaking, Lago de Coatepeque or Lake Coatepeque. King's Castle Campgrounds sits on this lake that is formed inside a volcano. We never get tired of this wonderful view!

The 3rd picture is just one of the many overloaded pick-ups that is common around here. I think some of the huge white bags are filled with plastic......maybe they're recycling????

The last picture is a picture of a rooster that I saw tied up behind a pastor's house, and thought it was pretty funny. One would think a dog would be the most common animal on a leash, but not true here in El Salvador!!

More to come.............

Blessings!
