Still having fun in El Salvador!!

Well we have been here 11 days now and are still having a great time.  On Friday we had casino night, not too many of us went, I think due to the fact that it was a high buy in and cruisers as a whole do not have a lot of extra money to spend on games with really bad odds.  But never the less Jerry, myself, and about 6 others went and had a great time. The hotel itself has a casino built in with slots, blackjack tables and even roulette, and even free drinks when playing.  Unfortunately none of us walked away as the big winner, but we had fun all the same. 
We won a big 10 dollars!!

Saturday we went over to the Island across the estuary to Jan's, Jerry went to work on some of the donated computers that she has acquired for the kids on the island.  While myself, Erin from SV Rio Nimpkish, and Ben and Lisa from SV Lisa Kay went and played soccor with the kids on the Island.

Have to have ice cream while working on the computers

Jan's youngest dog Wolfie (except for the puppies, but I am not able to take pictures of them yet)

Banana plants!

smile!!

Oh it was so hot at 12pm, but the kids were awesome!


OH yeah we even pet cows!

Around 4pm Jerry's sister Cheri and her best friend Dar flew into San Salvador airport, Jerry and I took a taxi up to meet them and bring them back to the resort.  When we got here, the front desk did not have their room for them, they had guest that wanted to stay another night, but it all worked out with them staying on the boat for the first night, then the next morning we got their 3 room suite for the next 7 nights.
There was a dance party, but I could not get anyone to dance with them!

What else could you want, Yummy Yummy shrimp and lobster dinner and then swimming and drinking in the pool while we wait!

Smile Cheri...Jerry is a good driver..I swear!

Dinner at Mar Y Sol, another great dinner.  Cheri, Dar and myself had garlic shrimp, while Jerry had cream of shrimp and we all shared shrimp ceviche and a hot garlic shrimp dish!!  OH Yeah

Jerry's cream of shrimp soup, wow...can't eat this everyday!
I am still taking my Spanish class, could not get Cheri or Dar to go with me on Monday, but maybe Friday.  Hopefully by next week I can give you all an update in Espanol!!  Today we are going to take a dinghy ride up the estuary to Herradura to check out a real little Salvadorian village and to have some Papusas, the local dish.

Looks like you guys are having a great time. Dave and I are having a blast at El Cid, Mazatlan. Justin is coming the 17th, so we'll stay here until the end of April, then off to the sea, and San Carlos by June. Look forward to getting together again. Take good care and have a safe and fun trip back up north!
