Leaving from Des Moines with all of our luggage
We made it to El Salvador!
There wasn't much room left in the car.
FMLN turtles at Los Pinos!
Taking a rest in the hammock
At the University of Central America (UCA)
A sign outside the chapel at the UCA.
I think it's for the people who were recently murdered in Mexico.
Several were from El Salvador.
The museum at the UCA:
The Voice of the Voiceless
Picture of items of Rutilio Grande
Clothes worn by the Jesuit priests when they were murdered
Bits of grass with blood on them from the Jesuit priests
A dictionary that was slashed a few days before the priests were killed
The four small pictures of the Americans that were killed during the Civil war
There were several massacre sites in El Salvador
Scapular and pieces of cloth with Oscar Romero's blood on them
A sign in El Salvador about the increase in violence:
Government and society united against crime and violence
On the t-shirt: Nobody is going to intimidate El Salvador
Lots of police
Inside the National Cathedral
Beautiful stained glass
Beautiful dove
Oscar Romero's tomb
Other tombs below the church
Thinking about Romero
There were a lot more police in San Salvador than usual
The El Salvador del Mundo statue and park area is being touched up
Dinner in San Salvador

You really got to see so much in your first day. I'm glad you finally got to see the museum. That must have pretty moving seeing all the clothes and artifacts from the priests and others who were killed. The picture of the dictionary is really striking.
