Do you even know where El Salvador is?

This is sad. I'm gonna be completely honest. I think I am a geography whiz, and usually do very well (that one time) when quizzed for hours on end at Amherst Coffee by a burly man with a beard, but when I showed up at the Nut House to open my acceptance package I was genuinely confused to read El Salvador and not know a god damn thing about it. I mean, it could have said Azerbaijan and I would have known exactly where that was but El Salvador threw me for a serious loop.

Well for those of you like me who do not know anything about it, here is a map.

I live in north west El Salvador near Metapan. It's my nearest pueblo but is about an hour to an hour and a half away depending on dust or mud. My caserio is due east of Metapan but closer to the Rio Lempa than Metapan.



El Salvador is about the exact same size as Massachusetts but it takes me at least 4 hours to get from La Pena to the Capital San Salvador.

They eat a lot of pupusas here. They are wonderful and like most of the things we eat in the United States not extraordinarily health conscious. Cheese, beans, maiz.



Camiones look like this. This is what I ride into Metapan with from La Pena. An hour an a half in a dust bowl to arrive looking like Ashy Larry.



The Celtics are in the NBA Finals tonight. Let's do it.

One of these days I'll put some of my own pictures up but for the time being I don't have any.

Any questions feel free to ask. I sincerely appreciate the support, the questions, complaints, packages, and 'go fuck yourself' letters. Keep them coming.
