Dinghy Trip to La Herradura!!

On Tuesday Jerry, myself, Cheri and Dar took a dinghy ride 4 miles up the Estero de Jaltepeque to a little village called La Herradura.  It took us about 1 hour to get there, and we went at low tide so there were some tricky spots go get the dinghy through without running aground.  We had a great day walking the streets, eating Papusa's the El Salvadorian local dish made with rice flour stuffed with cheese and sometimes a meet or veggies, and of course having a couple cold Pilsner beers.

That evening Bill and Jean on SV Mita Kuuluu set up a wine tasting for the cruisers to participate in.  Cheri brought down a couple of bottles to enter.  All the bottles were covered and we all tasted them and scored them from 1-5, none of us picked our own bottles as the best, but we had a great time.  Dar did not drink wine so she did a cervesa tasting....I wonder what she thought was her favorite beer.
