After a restless night, we had\u00a0 a decent breakfast in the hotel, and I walked a few blocks to a farmacia for more pain stuff.\u00a0 At around 11:00 we turned on the TV and watched the Obama inauguration, and then I went and picked up my new glasses.\u00a0 Perfect!<\/p>\n
It was a wild and crazy ride to get out of San Salvador;\u00a0 we had to pass through the main market area on CA-1, and it was a nightmare.\u00a0 Four lanes of busses and cars crunched down to one lane, passing through a thousand market stalls with vendors hawking and shoppers running and people pushing farm carts and wheelbarrows and ice-cream carts and hot-dog wagons and you-name-it!\u00a0 Too many blocks of just pain craziness.\u00a0 Just something you have to see to believe!<\/p>\n
Then a good road east.\u00a0 We stopped at a wide spot in the road for a disappointing pupusa lunch, then continued through some very beautiful country-side.\u00a0 Crazy drivers, very bad traffic.\u00a0 We stopped early in San Miguel, 70 K. from the Honduras border.\u00a0 Another first-class hotel, with no hot water!\u00a0 Here in El Salvador every large business, and every hotel and restaurant\u00a0 has an armed security guard on its premises. After checking in, we jumped into the unheated, unfiltered pool just to cool off from the 100\u00ba F heat.<\/p>\n
We walked around and found excellent steak dinners for $4.50 USD.\u00a0 We bought oil and supplies to do an oil change on both bikes in the morning.\u00a0 Cigars and cerveza by the pool finished off another good day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
