More Of El Salvador!

We're back with more random pictures of people or things we come across in our daily ventures, as missionaries, here in El Salvador! As mentioned previously, some may make you chuckle, others, may bring a tear to your eye, but either way we hope it helps you catch a glimpse of our journey on the mission field! Enjoy!!

The 1st photo is our Coca Cola Plant.....We think it's pretty unique, because if you look closely to the left, on the roof of the building you can see all the red bottle caps sticking up across the whole plant!!

In the 2nd photo are two men standing in the back of a pick up, probably heading to work. It's very common to see pick up trucks full of people, flying down the highways 50 to 60 miles an hour....something I still cringe at, especially when there are young children among them! We have witnessed some children that looked as young as 3 or 4 years old, standing up in the back of the truck, alone, as it flew down the highway, obviously unaware of the dangers of being thrown out!

The 3rd photo is a beautiful painting that is on a building in a favorite town of ours, called Ataco. There are so many talented artists, among us in this country. Buildings are painted, telephone poles are often painted, and walls along the highways, like those we posted in a previous blog. This little town also had cobblestone streets, with coffee shops and eateries, as well as cute little gift shops.

The last photo is that of a little boy that I snapped, when he came to watch a program that Aaron's Warrior group was performing in a poor area. I just couldn't resist that sweet little face. Some of my favorite photos, are those of the beautiful Salvadoran children!!

Well, we hope you enjoy the pictures that we're sharing with you, as we capture them in our day to day ventures! Blessings!!!

More Sights in El Salvador, For Your Enjoyment!

In this 1st picture you'll see a man selling bread that he carries in the Big basket on his custom made bike. This is a very common sight around El Salvador. It will almost always be a male riding a bike and selling bread or other baked goods. It's rare to see a woman doing this.

In the next picture is an example of the wall art that we see everywhere. This Indian is painted on a wall along a major highway and displays some of the talent we have here.

While driving to the clinic yesterday, we drove up behind a herd of cows on the camp road. You always have to be prepared to stop, as you never know what you might find ahead! On more than one occasion, we have had to stop on the highway, for crossing cattle!

Another common sight around here are vendors, selling fruits and veggies, more than likely, grown on there own property. A necessary way to earn a living around here. It's truly amazing to us, at what little money they make, they can survive on. Such a simple life, yet difficult for us to wrap our minds around.
