Was it Christmas? and other random observations.
It seems that surf beach in El Tunco, El Salvador is the place to be if you want to just skip Christmas Eve. Locals have dinner with the family and then continue their evening routines by mostly watching TV while some younger folks might go out and get drunk. Christmas day in entirely different. Any [...]
Some kitchen music in a hostel
I really like good kitchens in hostels. I’m no great cook but it’s a good place to meet people and exchange cooking. You also meet different kind of people like the ones in this kitchen: anarchist, artisan, backpacker, volunteer, engineer… One night in Xela this Danish guy played some guitar while people were eating.

Crimes and violence in Central America, so far.

Full moon hike to volcano Santa Maria
Few days back I caught my first real flue of the year. Unfortunately for me I also wanted to climb up a volcano called Santa Maria. I had to do it now. There were no options since this week I’m leaving Xela behind and it was full moon. Full moon was important because it meant [...]
