Hello!! Well El Salvador has been a pleasnat surprise for us! We were both a bit apprehensive about coming as we'd heard all about how dangerous it is here but we've found the people to be most friendly and welcoming! (though most of them are packing guns...). Our first stop was the wonderful little town of La Palma, where El Salvador's most famous artist Fernando El Llort has mentored and taught the locals to paint in his own unique style.

Aki was super-chuffed as we got to see the Champion's League cup as Paris are hosting the final on 17th May. We have also enjoyed eati...
