Finger-like ridges stretch to the ocean, ending either subtely or abruptly in cliffs at the shore of the Pacific. It is by far one of the most beautiful shorelines yet. We have been spending the last week in the dreamy little country pueblo of Canton Argentina where our good friend ¨Red Dawg¨ has happily been adopted by more than one El Salvadoran family. The existence is more than comparable to stories grandparents tell in the states... JCPenny´s catalogues for toilet paper, taking horses to work in the fields, & walking two miles to school uphill in some pretty tricky shoes. We have enjoyed getting to know the people, learning to making ¨chengas¨(homemade corn tortillas cooked over a fire), washing clothes in the creek, helping build a road to the village (a tremendous project), and all around learning about a different way of life.
We made a trip to La Libertad today to get some groceries and take care of a few other things (such as internet). Of course there are so many photos I would love to share but those will have to come later.

La Libertad, brings back some memories. I was there back in the summer of '71 and not yet quite 21. I had my surfboard that I brought through the jungles of Western Guatemala where I had to try and explain to the young troops that it wasn't an airplane wing or a part of a missle for the Mayans.
Great surf the 4 days I was there. 4.5'-6' light breeze. Wonderful!
