independence day, possibly the greatest movie ever made

yesterday was el salvador's independence day! hooray! mister donut has 2 for 1 donuts for the whole month of september to celebrate. 2 for 1 is big here in general. there's a whole ice cream store chain called neveria 2x1, where prices are given in increments of 2. 2 cones for $1.50! too bad the ice cream tastes like plastic.

some parade action downtown


winners of pimp my oxcart 09


ok changing gears here's an actual picture of the clinic

unrelated
mmmm

i love dark clouds

after the parade we went to the beach and found a deserted beach (probably everyone was still at the parade). i went frolicking in the water and then got out and covered myself with black sand and it was beautiful and sparkly. then i was stuck carrying a great deal of sand in the crotch of my bathing suit despite attempting various maneuvers in the ocean, including doing flips. all of the fancy little hotels by the beach were locked and deserted. however, i climbed a large fence and discovered an outdoor shower where the water came over a rock ledge like a waterfall. i had a glorious, secluded shower surrounded by flowers and then snuck out. i cut my foot on the fence but such is the cost of sneaking.
