Our time here in this beautiful Central American country has been filled with much learning: the language of course is always a challenge yet the locals are so willing to share about their beloved country. As we toured for a few days our guide, Horte which is George in English, was very eager to share the story of the smallest country of the Central Americas- EL SALVADOR. With only 124 square miles the population is mostly in the Capital city of San Salvador and its outlying suburbs. Within 15 minutes from the USA Embassy, which is in a very new area of this huge city we saw many many slopes filled with shanties.. roofs covered with tin or plastic and representing peoples casas--homes. Most people make a mere $7.00 PER DAY!!! On our tour the other day
