Catching up in El Salvador

hello hello,

i made it safely to el salvador and it has been quite the experience. this was especially interesting since i have only been on a plane to and from florida and that was my only experience with that. i was really lucky that all the people at the airport were pretty friendly. i was also lucky because two of the people that sat across from me in the airport in Houston were fellow Sippies and helped me a lot to get through the international part of the flight. it was interesting to be one of the few americans on the flight with many other people who were from the country. the first day here was an experience and all i wanted to do was look around. i got my first taste of food here and was exhausted. the second day we started going to speakers and i felt like i was learning more, probably more than i learned in a day of college. i also got to eat and make food at one women´s house and that was exciting also. today was kind of long since it started so early. we began the day by being ready at 8 am and then we went to meet with 2 organizations in the morning and one in the afternoon. we also all got to adventure in our first making of a meal while being here and making it on our own. we were quite successful and our spaghetti turned out decently. so far i have encountered many different types of people but i don´t feel as shocked by the situations as i thought i may have been. maybe once i enter my campo, i may start to feel a greater impact. i am a little uncomfortable with my spanish though and feel like i´m always asking someone what another person said or for the person to repeat what they said for me.
