I didn’t anticipate posting about El Salvador again so soon, but I captured some more great moments that I wanted to share.
In El Salvador, Independence Day is September 15th, and this year was the 195th celebration. Despite a turbulent history there is strength, perseverance, and tremendous national pride.
My friends (i.e. my second family) had to pick me up at 7am (I begged not to be picked up at 6am) in order to avoid the chaotic traffic of the parades that took place the entire morning. We drove to Nueva Ascension, the birthplace of my madre salvadoreña, and I was blessed to see more of this great country.
Finally, a piece of advice: if you ever find yourself in El Salvador during the month of September, go to the nearest Mister Donut to enjoy 2×1. They’re delicious, and they’re Salvadorian.
Finally, to reiterate the beauty of this place.
a great, real place 
It is awesome that you are enjoying my beloved El Salvador. 195 years ago, our ancestors fought for independence and we celebrate it with so much happiness.
I Hope you can continue enjoying our culture and our beautiful heritage.

El Salvador makes me happy too! 🙂 Thanks! (+2)
It’s good to see that someone from another country is enjoying our independence. There are some Salvadorians that do not like to be here, but I seems that you are having fun in our small country. I recomend you to visit Olocuilta or Planes de Renderos. You are going to find the best pupusas there.

I really like the fact that you are going out and exploring El Salvador. It really looks like you are enjoying it. You should go to El Volcan de Santa Ana for an awesome experience!
