El Salvador

 What a pleasant surprise.  El Salvador just went from the most dangerous country in the western hemisphere to arguably the safest, thanks to the new policies of President Bukele.  Previously they had no control of their country, and now they do!  We heard from multiple locals that you can now go anywhere in the entire country and it's safe.  My surf instructor Brian said the first time he ever went to downtown San Salvador at night was two weeks ago.  It's a remarkable achievement, especially when considering the major challenges Mexico, Honduras, Ecuador and others in the region are experiencing.

Slimetime = Good Times, including multiple days of surfing (went too hard, my back still hasn't recovered!), yoga, massages, chinos, drinks and the Tyson/Paul fight in downtown El Tunco.  Friendly people, good energy and fun to explore Surf City.
