El Gueguecho

Our October hike was to El Gueguecho (Adam's Apple), an abrupt hill covered with trees.  Here you can see coffee beans preparing for a December harvest.
We spotted several butterflies (mariposas) at a small church.
In the U.S. we take private property very seriously.  In El Salvador the idea of private property is rather lax.  For example, this kitten was thieved by a girl on the hike.  The two of us demanded she return the kitten to its owner.  However, the other adults on the hike insisted it was no big deal.  Fijese que, this girl doesn't have a cat.

El Salvador has the highest rate of teen pregnancy in Latin America.  This activity, in which every hike participant carried an egg as if it were his/her baby, addressed the demands of parenthood.  Oh, the irony.
