Descanso II

I realize I may resemble a guy in this picture, but that is just how I look when I surf.  As you can probably tell, this was my second day out (ever), because my form slightly improved. 

Descanso II

I have been on my second descanso now, in El Salvador on the beach for a week learning to surf.  It's been amazing.  I have a whole new appreciation for surfers as I was convinced I was drowning, at least three times, the first time I went out. 
Here is a picture of the beach at El Tunco/Sunzal, where we have been staying at a hostel, Surfer´s Inn.

Me and Jessica, one of my girls.  Such a cutie.
And a few of the ninas pequenas and varones pequenas swimming, their favorite activity. 

The Kids

The first picture is Casa G from the water, the first thing you see when arriving on the boat.
Carlos, which everyone calls Carlitos b/c he´s so small, is one of my kids.  Such an angel.
The kids on the steps are several of my kids, although not all.  Tanja, Eric, Jessica, Gerson, Selvin, Diego, and Nelson.  On a regular day, I have 11 kids total, from ages 2-5.

Semuc Champey

Here are a couple of the many pictures taken at Semuc Champey (from my first descanso). Such a beautiful place.  It was about 7 hours by bus from Flores (Tikal, Mayan ruins), and then about 45 mins standing in the back of a four wheel drive truck to actually get to the place.  This place was so remote and amazing. Met a lot of great people, swam and hiked by candlelight through caves, and swam through the falls and pools in Semuc Champey.  Definitely the highlight of my first trip.
