We never intended to spend any time in El Salvador. It was simply a connection between Lima and Belize City. However, because the airline improperly made changes to our ticket, we had to wait three more days to get to Belize. After spending six hours at the check-in counter at Lima, we finally worked out the tickets and made the most of the situation by getting a 24 hour lay over in San Salvador, where my cousin had just moved. We were able to see where she lives, have some nice meals together, and we experienced the daily San Salvador thunderstorm. She happened to be moving into her new apartment that day so we also ran some errands with her to pick up home supplies. I did not expect to find a Wal-Mart and Sears in San Salvador and definitely did not expect them to be classier than the Wal-Mart and Sears at home.

Since we only had one day, we did not do any sight-seeing in San Salvador. I did not know what to expect, but the tropical area was beautiful, and I would love to get to explore the volcanoes and nearby beaches. Hopefully we'll be able to head back for a longer visit in the near future.
