We left Honduras at 4:30 this morning and arrived in the beautiful El Salvador. We started with a press conference in the mall right next to our hotel. It was a mall that had every store you could think of that we have in the states. We were in the middle of mall and they set us a long table with our names on cards i felt like we should be selling credit cards. It was a nice experience, was our first official press conference, lots of cameras. There was a lovely lady there from the Peace Corps. She works in the municipal building trying to build democracy. She has started a public radio station to try and facilitate peoples voices and opinions. She is a very energetic and passionate lady.
Then Sean and i went to Mr. Donut Man of paris where they serve comidas tipicos de El Salvador. It was a cultural experience. Had the reflection of wow, there are so many franchises here and it really makes me wierdly annoyed. I know that for them work is work and money is money. but it all seems out of place, people are poor here and many live in shambles, but then there are all these slick chain resturants that sell highly processed food. ok, i will have more on this later.
Then we were off to a radio station. We were interviewed by this firecracker of a lady, she is a huge supporter of folk musician and artists.
