Down and Dirty Down South


Road trips are always fun but add crossing country borders and you get a whole new type of excitement.
-How far to San Salvador?´ we ask the man walking downt he side of the highways
-really far
-really? How far?
-about 20 min.
-oh, okay.
45 min later
(to another rando on the side of the road)
-How far to San Salvador?
-Oh god, like 1.5 hours or so...
-shit, okay, thanks.
2 hours later, dripping with sweat as we are reminded we are once again in a tropical country, we arrive- somehow without a map or an address to our destination.
AIESEC El Salvador lives up to Central Americas reputation of kick ass aiesecers.
With a party till 5am we hoped in the car and drove to the beach to see the sun rise.
I walked an indutrial fishing peir at 545 am. It was so busy you´d think it were 12 noon.
We crashed on the beach around 630 or so, me to be woken up by...
-KATY! KATY!
I open my eye to find myself sweating balls baking in the 8am sun. Slowly turn around to see E train yelling from where the car is parked a ways back pointing frantically down the beach to my left.
I turn my head to see at least 13 cows running, quite fast might i add, right for me.
I shot up and bolted down the beach, sparkly top ,skinny jeans and all.
A day of pool lounging, coconut drinking, and bitches bitches playing with aiesec el salvador finished up the weekend before a tiring 5 hour drive home back to guate.
More people need to go on traineeships.
