Celebrations Salvadoran Style

    Saturday, I had the opportunity to share in the celebration with a small village who had fought 6 years for their rights to own and farm in a village(pueblo) not far away from the Capital of San Salvador.  They named their pueblo "Romero" in honor of Oscar Romero who worked for the rights of poor people in El Salvador.  They celebrated Mass, creative acting drama with humor and break dancing from their youth group, and food with Cis, our Language School.

A "Love" Wall, Santa Ana, El Salvador

      Today, I went with a friend from Language school to visit her Salvadoran friend's family in Santa Ana.  Santa Ana is about 2 hours from San Salvador by local bus.  I loved the charm and tranquil atmosphere.  There is a great restored Cathedral and Theater around the Plaza.  The Plaza is full of friendly families, and lots of little stalls to try fresh fruit juices and local treats.
