First Days in Site


Nightstand in new site


View from window


Drinking water. Delivered on Mondays.


¨Donde Viven Los Monstruos¨ y ¨Huevos Verdes Con Jamon¨. We have befriended the neighbor kids and they are big fans of these books.


A counterpart took us to San Miguel, the nearby city, to see a celebration of 35 years of El Salvador´s Casa de la Cultura (Cultural House) program. Here is San Miguel´s Catedral Nuestra Senora de la Paz.


This is an early 20th-century theatre, recently restored. A great rock band played on the steps. Their setlist included a Mana cover, ¨La Bamba¨, and ¨Another Brick in the Wall¨.


Folklore dancers, part of the celebration


The theatre also featured a temporary exhibit about El Salvador´s role (still on-going) in the war in Iraq.

Good to hear an update. The pictures look beautiful and your posts are heartening.

Which is more scary? A tarantula or a scorpion?

Bruce, let me know when the Salvadoran music video comes out. I recommend you do your famous 'Elaine Dance' that used to light up the LCA basement floor.

Can't wait to hear more about your projects when you get them going.

Happy New Year!
