After laboring over several maps, Stephen, Jon and I drove to Suchitoto yesterday. It was just like we figured--the maps don't help you much. It seems that most driving in El Salvador is by the "seat of your pants."
We left the house about 9:45 and headed across CA-1 through downtown San Salvador. The traffic was a mess, but we did get to show Jon the downtown park where we work during campaigns, the central cathedral and several other government buildings.
We made it to Suchitoto and our first stop was the beautiful Catholic church. The wood and the art were amazing. We also saw several other old buildings and the lake. We had lunch in a great boutique hotel restaurant. Our waiter spoke English very well--quite a surprise for us. The food was delicious and we highly recommend it if you're ever in the neighborhood!
