Hello from El Salvador!!

Hello everyone. Well I have found reallyreally iffy internet in the venue :) Today I've watched Yesika's pools and am watching mens sabre pools while watiing for her DE to start. I'm in the room with Belen and Yesika and have been hanging out with the Dominicans (hard for me to understand-- its so bad they think i hardly speak spanish), and have seen my friend from Mexico. Last night I trained with the Guatemalans and Dominicans and tonight am probably going to do the same. Would've like to train with the canadians but they're doing so in the morning. Been having a good time, the place is relaly nice. Good food, lots of junk shows in english on tv (my guilty pleasure at fencing competitions) and people to hang out with. El Salvador is actually really pretty with a lot of rolling mountainous terrain etc but I haven't gotten a chance to get out really. Me and Belen want to go to some mayan ruins that are supposedly near here but will hav eto ask for an army escort hahaha. Right now Yesika is in the 16 waiting for her next bout. She let me borrow a pan shirt so i feel so official. Sorry if this blog is jumping around a lot I've been writing it between bouts and off an on in the venue today. I love you all and when i find better internet i'll start to upload some photos I've taken!

BIG HUGS!

I'm glad you're having a good time! The situation with your Spanish difficulties reminds me that people all over Latin America speak about 20 kinds of Spanish, not one.

Hi Ailyn,

From what some of the Salvadorans here say, you'd probably be smart as well as politically correct to get that escort. Hope you get to the ruins. Glad all's going well there. Which of the girls is Yesika? X0
