Fast Food in Central America

Bliss... Good coffee, wireless access, fancy play area to keep Chayo amused, yummy breakfasts... Yes... 'Pollo Campero' is definitely going to become one of my San Salvador haunts...

Things are going pretty well. We've been here 5 days now and are slowly recovering from the ordeal of the flight. Actually the flights themselves were ok, but 4 hours of queues, security checks and lost bags in Houston were pretty tough...

Our house is lovely. We've got a little garden with swings and a slide, tropical flowers, papaya and banana trees. From the window we can see the volcano and more trees: almond, mango, lime, orange and coconut...

Mosquitoes tho, and Chayo lots of bites despite sleeping under mosquito nets and covering him with insect repellent in the day. So yesterday we got to work... I borrowed a drill and we spent the day putting up fans on the walls, netting on the windows, mopping the floors with bleach, and putting 'mosquito poison' in all the puddles near the house... Hopefully that'll help.

Hey Toppers
How about emailing some photos of the garden and the view... Be nice to be able to visualise your home.
Please send my good wishes to Patti.
Love from Jane xx
