Do not admire a museum of the revolution, but we contemplate the beautiful views and we watch Tom and Jerry in unusual circumstances ...

We arrive in El Salvador provinces - to a tiny Perquin near the border with Honduras, described in the Lonely Planet as a total highlight because of the falling of the war museum there. Well the topic of the war in El Salvador we are very interested in we decided to ptrzyjechac here.
Town, if the skip of loose rubbish is nice and friendly. We are not very cheap hotel - 10 bucks for the two of us and we set off to see the museum. Already
umieszconego away from the building with cash poster smiles to us, Che Guevara and other guerrilla heroes. Turns out it is not in the war museum a museum of the revolution, and this is not top-flight ...
First of all, any objective facts is not here. This is just a museum - a monument erected FMLN, a Salvadoran guerrilla, which in this region of the country was the strongest. Besides, it still is. FMLN after the signing of peace in 1992 turned into fact in the political parties. And when the rest of the rightwing posters Salwadoiru dominated arena, here, people everywhere advertises a candidate from the list of leftist guerrilla heiress.
interesting to see the old pictures of demonstrations and fights, watch faces guerilleros and see how it all looked from their point of view ... But really no different from the pictures is especially seen in a mausoleum in Cuba, Che, and others watched many times in books on Latin American issues. And there are also mixed in are the facts from the last war and the events age 30, when it was formed the first socialist party of El Salvador, stood up for the rights of Indians and soon after it took place the massacre of the indigenous population. Well ... after that, however, the museum We expected something more.
But it was worth to come to Perquin only because of the beautiful view cometh how soon we see from the vantage point, placed on top of mountains. The vast space crossed by mountain ranges extending until hen hen to Honduras. These are areas of dispute between the two countries.
the evening we go to the pupuserii. We eat and sit at a table next to the local peasants, there is even a man with a pistol at his belt [later it turns out that a police officer from a nearby police station]. Flies cartoon Tom and Jerry. Funny. We are on some totally wild Salvadoran province, where the locals eat pupuse ... and everyone burst out laughing when the mouse again, we managed to frame up something in the cat when the cat is once again crushed or burned ...

At the end of the day I have witnessed the burglary ... Which was made by Martin, wpelzajac from the top of the restroom to our hotel. The owners go away somewhere because, we are not leaving the keys in advance. When the viewer is a local children begin to scream POLICE! POLICE! No no no, really comedy ... In one of the most dangerous countries in Central America make only crime ... we do ... With us until August frightened Salvadoran children ...

The next day we leave El Salvador, which for a few days, unfortunately we could not know best.

Which Wire Is The Remote Wire On A Kenwood

San Salvador. The city pulsating with dirt and hot

Chicken bus in the direction of the capital pomykamy - San Salvador. We get off in the suburbs of Santa Thecla, because there also are expected to have another host. Santa Tekla looks nice and calm, but on the streets a lot of police and army with the weapon. Barbed wire on the houses also not lacking. We find
Predko House host ... This is actually food shop, whose door opens to us the old lady miles, lest we enter further into the apartment. What a paradise! The property has a shop! For this we do not need to buy it ... for miles you already carry the right products for the kitchen, already burns gas and takes pans ... and the moments were tucking into delicious tortillas with salty cheese salwadorskim. Host [son] is at work. We
the city, bearing in my head a number of warning you that it is out extremely dangerous and necessitamos que tener mucho quidado [ie, we must be very careful!]. Well, not the first time we hear these words ...
to San Salvador as the little one arrives to the of a large, modern metropolis. Going very nice way but sometimes you look sideways, you can see in the distance, knocked together side by side slamsowate houses, climbing up and on the hill. El Salvador is concentrated najbardiej country in Central America. It has 6 million inhabitants and with a little is like Belize.
lazac spend the day at the center. It is a city of hot flashes outright, noise and dirt. My pulsates with him, until exhaustion. After several hours we are dirty and tired. Suddenly, with a cool Guatemala switched to the hot and sultry climate, literally pouring at us. Everywhere on the streets of garbage. Cale center is dominated by the bazaar, stretching endlessly several main streets. Disgusting shack stick to the buildings of the National Theatre and the Palacio Nacional. Przekupy and of loose garbage and on the ripple on the door of the cathedral and other churches. Sometimes we can not find the entrance to some building because everything has been bet by the stalls. Stinks. Added to this is the roar of the music - in every other shack sell the CD - and human voices, sounding sometimes quite terribly ... UN DOLLAR, UNDOOLAR, UUUUUNDOOOOOOOOOOOOLAAAAAAAR !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! For a dollar you can buy almost everything here.
People are weird. Some behave as abnormal, we meet some strange assembly, suspicious groups. Besides
views known in Guatemala City. Barbed wire, and omnipresent, people with the weapon. Tourist info
zero. We're probably the only ones. After establishing our identity, then waiting hours we are able to enter the Palacio Nacional. Not bad. Also visit the square on which stands a statue of Christ Savior, a volcano in the background. And so when it comes to the city's attractions ...
attaches to us, we head to the cop on the street, because it protects some private house, whose owners do not want them in order to photograph it ...
City paranoid and tiring. We go back to the suburbs.
the evening comes, our host, who takes us for a ride to ... shopping centers. The huge and elegant. Quite like in Poland. [Strange, but in most places I feel longing for our country ...] wants us to think of El Salvador show a little better side. Later, taking us to pupuse - dishes tor is apparently only in El Salvador. These are such small pancakes layered with cheese, beans and maybe something more. Really very good.
talks a little about life in El Salvador and its relations with its big neighbor. Says he hardly goes to Honduras, because he could have salwadoska registration problems. The next day we leave towards the border with Honduras, we want to spend a day in Perquin.
San Salvador is a city of ugly, but it certainly is interesting, so I think it was worth it to visit.

Walkthrough On Electric Box Level 19

Quick-stop, low-cost food and lodging in prison, or in El Salvador ... Welcome!

Salvador. Another country, whose history of recent years was a success according to the Latin American pattern. Eternal iniesprawiedliwosci inequality, evil junta ruling-country, leftist guerrilla and long-term devastating cruel war. In El Salvador, was not encountered almost no one in our way of tourists. This country does not enjoy the best recognition. Many believe firmly that there was nothing interesting to see. Is small and everything has almost no Indians (only 1% of the residents, the rest wymordowanom mainly in the 30s of the twentieth century), criminality, and not particularly high-developed tourist infrastructure.
The more curious we were to completely nieturystycznego country greeted us :-)
milo. At the border we had to pay anything is not a customs officer even gave us a beautiful map of the country. After 5 minutes, we caught a foot, later the next. And in this way nightfall found us in Sonsonate - village 60 kilometers from the capital. This is one of those places, dirty and neuter where the people rather badly with the eyes look, where the streets dominated by garbage and gray. Salwadorczycy May look quite European, Nobody asks us much attention. Besides, Martin has already disputes beard, and it would strip mounted machete stuck. Blends into the surroundings so pretty good ;-)
find a cheap hotel (5 bucks for the two of us) at some vile street. The room is large, bed comfortable, but something is wrong here ... A quick analysis ... Powerful metal doors closed window in the middle. Above them, at quite high altitude suspended kolkhoznik, from which, moreover, soon starts to emit music. Oh wait ... if by chance we do not and we're on komisariaciem or in a small prison, a hastily converted into a hotel ...? Luckily kolkhoznik be excluded, and we we can go for dinner to a nearby bar (rather than wait for the prison food which will give us the guard through the window) ... But the atmosphere of accommodation in such a place is good.
for dollar you get a big hook with a plate of chow plus drinking. We make the first purchases in the store. Price bus to the capital: 70 cents (the currency here is U.S. dollar). Our first day in this country, but we know one thing: El Salvador is CHEAP!

How To Remove Scarring From Impetigo

Guatemala ... certainly not the last time

Again we go! Previously ruszlismy almost daily, and there was nothing extraordinary in this, now it is not so easy, after a week of sitting in one place. We want to get there by bus almost at Ciudad Guatemala, there get off at the station and try to catch a foot in the direction of El Salvador.
So we leave in Guatemala - a country which has so far we feared the most. Colombian friend of laughed at me to not want to come visit him, because it is too dangerous, and entering the country as Guatemala TAAAKIEGO ... Well so far the only attempt an attack on our way happened to Cuba, a country like the safest ... This proves only one thing - there's no rules, no certainties. We must just watch out everywhere, but you can not panic. It is worth to read a warning in the Lonely Planet, but you can get them zachlystywac, for fear triggered by the reading is sometimes a nerve.
One thing is certain: YOU REALLY Going to GUATEMALA! It is a country so beautiful and exotic. Even the poor, perhaps with by the Indian nature of the villages is of your charm. Guatemalans appear to most people in a very cheerful, zyczliwymim, calm. You can see from the Guatemalan government also does everything in order to ensure the safety of tourists. In all places we could count on the kindness of the police, also creates something like tourist police, intended to protect and escort the tourists. Public transport system works brilliantly (as indeed in all the countries of Central Aneryki).
Guatemala has the most beautiful to see the ruins can imagine, a wonderful town, exotic markets, mountains and lakes, and of course colorful wszystkinm Indians.
pity in spite of developing tourism is still a country so poor ... Arise, however, English school, for example, how our Arco Iris, and thousands of others, which attracts crowds of tourists, which is like the best omen for the future.

open market conundrum ... What to do if the majority of land in the state belong to 22 families - descendants of the conquistadors, who 500 years ago in the brutal way they caught me, killing the Indians. Is it really belongs to them? How to solve this problem in order not to violate property rights? And a fairer division of the land in fact change something? Are the Indians are able to take matters into their own hands and also co-rule the state? We asked ourselves these questions sitting in the divine experience in San Pedro, led by the French. Oh, and why all of these options for backpackers created foreigners ...

got off at the station 40 km from the capital, but catch rates were going hard, We could just go a little outside of Ciudad Guatemala, and that this in some other direction than we wanted. Finally we arrived by bus to the border with El Salvador. Last regiomn by which we passed was already quite a toad and not at tourist. Here also you can not see many Indian yl face. We saw the city dirty and bland. But they are not overshadowed beauty of this country, which will remain forever in our memory ...

Leg Numbness Lateral Knee

last day of a settled life

last day in San Pedro passes very nice. Az compression of the heart that this was the last ... Visit among other things, once again on the owner of our school, where his wife I dressed in your festive outfit, skirts, blouse and beads. Go out for a while to go through the city. We all stare, some laugh and say ¨ Oh! True Pedranka ¨. On Pedranke but I'm far too great. Transcends the local Indian at least a head.
by the disease have not used either sights offered by nature (volcano, a lake that could be free to cross the kayaks, the surrounding villages), or those offered by so many bars here, run by foreigners. Only the last two nights we went''were a little enjoy themselves.'' We got to the concert, where he shone in general a little empty, but you could go there, even for understanding the waiter. This was a character who step tanczoca wander the halls in order to flowing soon find yourself at your table, you throw a drug though not without charm, and look to take your order. What is the funniest waiter was Ruska. San Pedro is another such place of refuge for niebieskichj birds from around the world. But the first that I could also imagine a place of its escape.
Last night was even more fun because we met with the Chinese woman (known at the beginning of a boat carrying us here) and her friends - a German and Canadian. Once again, we saw how well this world is tiny, we came up with case for Chekhov known in Mexico in San Cristobal. Evening
This unfortunately did not last long, because we had to get up the next day at 4, in order to early to catch a bus towards the capital.

Our Guatemalan house


the first time since the beginning of our trip I feel this nedzniutkim small hotel in San Pedro at home. We are here almost a week. We have your room, table and hammock front of our house. Every morning they come a teacher. At half-time "teaching" the mother of the owner - Indian Age of long gray braids - gives us a delicious Guatemalan coffee and something to snack. The owner is nice, it comes too often his 15 year old daughter Caroline. We have a nice neighbor - retired from Chicago. We feel a little as if we lived in the family. Especially through the atmosphere it generates grandmother. It prepares us to breakfast and dinner.
Wlasciciekl school invited us yesterday to his home. Overall, we thought that in San Pedro will notice also a little tease apart, but actually rarely wychylalismy noses outside our house. First, I am ill and almost all day after school I was in bed (when Martin was on an Indian charity concert for victims of Hurricane Stan in the region), the next day unfolded in August Martin. But generally nice time passes. Recently hours in the life of the city was a very important day - the feast of the Virgin Mary and on this occasion was the evening organized a huge procession. A bit like us in Corpus Christi, but the climate is completely different. Such Latin American religiosity has little to do with the Polish piety, prayers and meditation. Here, coating the world church is always baaardzo sumptuous. Before we went in procession, however, visited owner of the school. They gave us a traditional tamale (the mass of the tortilla with some meat in the leaves of the tree). Martin talkin 'with the host about the advertising possibilities for improving the school, in order to attract more customers, I and I spend the time talking to daughters. 20 year old girl looks like here normally dignified matron. At this age also appear generally Tables of gold inlays in the teeth. 26 year old teacher, Martin looks like a lot older than him. Despite this, at all, as we previously thought Indian no haste to marry. Many tells us that he wants to realize his career first - most often it means education in the profession a teacher, social worker, nurse or secretary. Indian society is obviously very conservative. The women wear only their traditional costumes, live at home until their parents get married, do not drink alcohol, do not pile and generally have to take care of his very reputation. Features man and a woman are here strictly divided - according to the patriarchal pattern.
Funny, but here all the women for us to look the same. From malenkosci through to old age wearing the same clothes and in a similar way upinaja their beautiful long hair. This is lovely. Deplorably against the background of the traditionally-dressed men Indianek look with your hair on the gel, the bazarowych jerseys adidas, similar to those worn by Polish hooligans. Only the older Indians behave fashion.
After a visit with the owner of the school we see the processions. He does it for us really incredible impression!! In some places play a great band - combining religious texts of the Latin American rhythms. On the streets every now and then burst crackers. At one point one of the streets startin 'to burn anything from exploding bombs. From behind the wildly exploding firecrackers, the smoke and darkness emerges slowly, dignified Virgin Mary, brought to the platform lit dozens of lamps. With the present follows the procession, and her hundreds of women of covered mostly identical pledami. Spreads intermittent bursts of singing next "bomb".
We're going home quite early, because Martin's breathtaking fever.

sad stories of the Guatemalan war, and not just


war in Guatemala lasted 36 years. It also touches upon the San Pedro La Laguna. Our Indian teacher tell us what happened in their village. The average man in the West has very little information about what's happened. So the more we listen with interest. The average man in the West also thinks the leftist guerrillas fought for freedom against the evil poor, the rich and international corporations and the nasty government forces supported by the CIA uciaskaly people. However, the truth lies somewhere in the middle. At least there Guatemala. According to our Indianek 500 years from 1914 to 1918 families in Guatemala ruled by descendants of the first conquistadors. They make, in order not to mix with the local population, so their skin is said to be pristine white. For today, as in ancient times as un Sometimes, the family's son married a daughter Castillo Gonzales family and so on. To them should be 70% wszysktiej earth. Do not allow the power of the Maya. This population making up about 80% of the residents of this state is rather simple and partly not able to read and write. So I probably also was not able to govern well. And of course it is easy to manipulate the electoral gifts from the rulers. These are not my words. Only the very words uttered by my teacher ignorant Indian who seeks the facts presented, I have spared no words of criticism against their own countrymen. Local democracy in principle funcjonuje, San Pedro is ruled by the Indians but of course all the talk of the town manager is indiascy skurumpowani thieves. So where are you honest politicians? Do whites, blacks, and yellows, perhaps everyone is just great skurwysynami. One more question. And what happens as the Indian wishes to stand for parliament. It kills him - is responsible Rosa. I do not know if this is true, but it sounds terrible.

Leftist environment in Germany and France are living legends of Latin American guerrilla

A San Pedro it was then very poor in the Indian village of 100%. Rzadaja nabogatrzych indicate residents of the city. Most of the population does not want to help. It is located three traitors. Begin with a murder. Not only the poorest. Gina women and children. Reds come back to the jungle killers. My teacher says he was thousands of such stories. Guerilla turned into, as in today Kolubii ordinary bandits. Of course, that did the same thing bezlitoscnie other party. Militias financed by a wealthy people also fell into the villages and murdered. in 1982 at the command of the then President Montt killed several Indian wiasek.

Also certainly black card in its history the United States enrolled here, by encouraging the liquidation of the so-called communists, without looking at the under topor ida just inches wiaski collectively with little kids. A aleo by encouraging the ordinary abusers and bandits in power. The great aim is to fighting communism, because It is a great plague, and also personally, I support (many communists in Poland, I hope that soon will land where they belong behind bars or in prison), but that does not mean that I have to support the motherf who with liberalism and free markets do not have nothing to do (because access to that market was only for the elect) and govern their country just like medieval princes, often we will treat their subjects like garbage.

Chichi - the magic of the market and Indian rituals


ride from Antigua to Chichicastenango - a city famous for its Thursday and Sunday fairs. It is worth to mention at the margins of the public transport system in Guatemala. Brilliantly organized bus connections are here. Chicken bus supports two people - a driver and a beater. The latter play a very important function. Hanging in the door of the bus yelling out loud the name of to which the vehicle travels. Just to get off with just one bus pulls up nasteny, from which he jumps agile beater, he asks to go, go, then climbs the ladder to the roof, in order to put our luggage there. One bus connects the Polish and Guatemalan - price per ticket. It is quite similar (Guatemalan sa little cheaper). On the similarities end ... Anyone who traveled to Poland by public transport knows the atmosphere on the bus ride through the city during peak hours - full poddenerwowanych przepychajacych August humans. In these buses, even an angel loses patience, get into action elbows and other parts of the body, and screams in the style - where you succeeded here is pushing with this bag! - Are on the agenda and no one is surprised. In Guatemala, the buses are crowded two times more. On the small seat sit at 3, 4 sometimes 5 people. People move along the entire corridor. Barker selling tickets. Everywhere packages, bags. To this are only one door - them every moment someone enters and exits. Yet here there is total peace of mind. No one screaming at no one, not pushed. Travelling by bus Guatemalan even this most crowded m is really fun. Guatemalans seem to be divinely peaceful people.
just such a bus line to Chichi. It is the most magical city that I saw in your life! Martin comes to the same conclusion. Even though there are many tourists, not kill it completely exotic Chichi. Chichi on Sunday is primarily all, a huge market - with everything - from eating through the fabric on the ubrabnia and the crafts. It is a pity that you can not buy anything special, because so many beautiful things here ...
On the one hand stalls is a beautiful white church (16 century), accessible through a staircase, the entire besieged by Indian vendors, mired in the smoke from the furnace located there. Just at the door of the smoke from the Indians spray cans with a special lotion. In the middle of the passage leading to the altar of thousands of candles. Mali natives still new light candles, whispering in your prayers any language (for us it sounds like a mantra.) Altars are almost black. Indian children run around, hear sounds of drums, someone on your lap it over and over to tibernakulum and back. Never in my life we were not so magical church! We visit the cemetery
still full of colorful graves (mostly paint them in pastel colors, it looks amazing.) We are witnessing checked there by the Indian ritual. Later we learn that despite the Maya adopted Catholicism retained many of its traditions and habits, for example, spraying the fire, or burning candles in thanksgiving to God. The Indian Christian mix gives an amazing effect.

terrible and amazing view of the guards with a weapon even before the store with the shoes. Ready at any moment to kill the assailant. In the shop we see the guy jendym sotjacego for cash with a big gun in his hand, and so there must be some attacks. Luckily, none of them are experiencing. And on the streets in many miesjcach posters of prison bars and password: Not lam law, you need to Guatemala.

After returning home to change plans. We had to go to Antigua today, but our host offers from tomorrow morning he will take us there. Super. Yet we'll spend a nice evening with the family of Juan (you say that is not only beautiful but also a wonderful wife two small children, with whom I played today with an hour). Koncz writing, because I probably just eat some good dinner:)))
