vacation in central america

I finally got around to downloading some of the photos I took (which, I’m sad to say, aren’t that many and even fewer worth showing) while we were in Central America for 18 days. The trip was pretty successful – we toured almost the whole of Guatemala and visited a lot of El Salvador (gorgeous beaches and waves!), stayed in wonderful hotels and stayed in not-so-wonderful places, got food poisoning and the best to eat was Pizza Hut (!). Life there goes to a much slower beat – which was frustrating and enviable all at the same time – and there are lots of children and dogs wondering the streets. Toddlers ride along on motorcycles, each parent held for their own accountability. Heavily armed men only took a day or two to get used to seeing at every street corner.

Anyway, here are some photos to take a look at as a recap of our trip —
