Sight Seeing in Salvador
We visited the Joya de Cera archeological site.
 Joya de Ceren 42 by Worldwide Ride.ca, on Flickr  Joya de Ceren 2 by Worldwide Ride.ca, on Flickr It is known as the Pompeii of Central America. The site was covered in volcanic mud and ash at least 14 times, beginning around 260 A.D, with the last recorded around 600 A.D. It was discovered by accident in 1976  Joya de Ceren 7 by Worldwide Ride.ca, on Flickr  Joya de Ceren 12 by Worldwide Ride.ca, on Flickr  Joya de Ceren 18 by Worldwide Ride.ca, on Flickr  Joya de Ceren 30 by Worldwide Ride.ca, on Flickr  Joya de Ceren 33 by Worldwide Ride.ca, on Flickr There is also a small museum here housing displays explaining the discovery, excavation, and conservation of the site. There are a number of artifacts on display as well.  Joya de Ceren 10 by Worldwide Ride.ca, on Flickr We were lucky to see the national bird of El Salvador, which has amazing tail feathers.  Joya de Ceren 38 by Worldwide Ride.ca, on Flickr Back at casa Lecha we applied our new stickers as an homage to Katja and Jens who have all their stickers in the same locations on their two bikes.

Devil's Door
The next day we rode up to the Devil’s door. On the way we stopped at the picturesque village of Panchimalco with it’s all white church.
 Devil's door 46 by Worldwide Ride.ca, on Flickr  Devil's door 9 by Worldwide Ride.ca, on Flickr You can see the Devil’s door above us on the hillside.  Devil's door 5 by Worldwide Ride.ca, on Flickr I took the opportunity to trial all 3 bikes, the 800 GS, the R1200, and the 1200 adventure as a pillion. Mario you win for ride comfort and view.  Devil's Door 46 by Worldwide Ride.ca, on Flickr  Deviel's door 47 by Worldwide Ride.ca, on Flickr La Puerta del Diablo´s main atraction is a 360° panoramic view of half of El Salvador. From here you can see San Salvador, Lake Ilopango, the city of Cojutepeque and the towering volcano of San Vicente. You will see most of the central coastline of El Salvador from this spot 1,131 meters above sea level.

 Image 6 by Worldwide Ride.ca, on Flickr Happy Valentines Everyone!  valentines dinner 16 by Worldwide Ride.ca, on Flickr  valentines dinner 7 by Worldwide Ride.ca, on Flickr Fernanda wanted to take us to her favorite quiche pizza place. The décor includes Elvis posters, taxidermy, and Chinese paper lanterns.  DSC04916 by Worldwide Ride.ca, on Flickr  DSC04917 by Worldwide Ride.ca, on Flickr The pizza however is amazing and the beer mug is so cold that the beer ices when you pour it in.  valentines dinner 2 by Worldwide Ride.ca, on Flickr We had the “crazy pizza” with a rainbow of toppings, but the secret is the delicious tomato salsa you put on top.  DSC04921 by Worldwide Ride.ca, on Flickr Carlos at the Barracuda showed us a great time on Friday night and he makes a mean caprina.  baracuda 5 by Worldwide Ride.ca, on Flickr  baracuda 11 by Worldwide Ride.ca, on Flickr  baracuda 32 by Worldwide Ride.ca, on Flickr Orvar even got into the action behind the bar as the master blender.  baracuda 3 by Worldwide Ride.ca, on Flickr You have to love a place where they label the bottle with your name for when you come back.  baracuda 36 by Worldwide Ride.ca, on Flickr Saralou screwed with this post 02-19-2013 at 12:00 PM |
