The scenery here in El Salvador is very lush and green. Mangroves surround us, and two volcanoes are off in the distance. As El Salvador is on Central Standard Time, not Daylight Savings Time like in Mexico, we have moved our clocks back one hour. Also, we are now at approximately the same longitude as Chicago.
We plan to be at Barillas for about a month. It will be wonderful to have a calm anchorage for a while as we didn�t have too many of them in Mexico. The day after arriving, Phil mended the tear in the jib, and we once again put up our roller-reefing jib. While at Barillas, we plan to visit Mayan ruins and travel inland to Guatemala visiting Antigua, the old Spanish colonial capital, and the area surrounding Lake Atitlan where populations of indigenous Mayans still live with their Mayan culture intact. |
