A Rough Ride Into San Salvador

The cab driver pictured here tried to kill us.

Well, he didn't really, but our comfort and safety didn't appear to be foremost in his mind as he chauffeured us into El Salvador's capital city. The driver came uncomfortably close to rear-ending a rickety truck in front of us. Michele nearly peed herself, while I smiled and enjoyed the adrenaline rush. All in all, it was a fabulous welcome to San Salvador.

45 minutes after we left the beach resort, we were dropped off at Hotel Villa Serena, completely awake and ready for another new adventure. The rough ride into San Salvador was just a taste of what was to come. We knew we had arrived in a much different, much more exciting place.
