(This is a picture I took when we were going down the road to where we are going to be staying. This picture is of a vendor's little shop like thing where people can pull over and buy stuff) When I came out of the airport there were tons of Salvadorans waiting for their families. My grandfather and I got in a van that had been waiting for us. It took us to EA's Complejo, where we are staying with the Skippers. On the way to the Complejo we saw some pretty interesting things. There were vendors on the side of the roads, and you could see a volcano that is not extinct. I also made friends with a couple of kids that live in the Complejo at EA. They showed me around some of the schools campus, I'll try and post some pictures of the campus tomorrow because I forgot to do so today.

Hey Buddy, I'm glad to hear that you and Grandfather made it down there safely. I was thinking about you guys when I was flying yesterday. I just got back to Memphis and had a little time on my hands so I had to check out your blog! Neat picture! I will be in Denver, Colorado for the night and I look forward to reading about your day when I get there! I hope you have fun and meet tons of kids while you're there!! I'll be in touch, so long for now!

Hey Pitt,
All the pictures so far are good. I'm enjoying the narrative descriptions of events there too.
What do the students do for fun?

Have you learned any Spanish while there? I have loved the blog, the pictures and keeping up with what you are doing. Give Grandfather a hug for me.
Love, Nana
