Cool place to visit

Hey there !  Just wanted to show you some of the pics I took over my last weekend.

I went to this lake that is about 1 hour away from San Salvador ( The capital of El Salvador ) and the funny thing about it is that it has changed its color !

 

No one knows why actually, well...scientists suppose that it is because of some seaweed that is blue and green and that has changed the color from very dark blue to turquoise ! I think they don't know exactly at this moment and maybe they'll come up with something else later.

 

In the meantime, I took the opportunity to go take a peek on this changing lake and took a couple of pictures that I'm sharing below, we had a really nice time and trust me, there was A LOT of people doing the same, I mean, who wouldn't be curious about this?

 

Hope you enjoy it!

 

 

This is how it used to look like..

 

And in the matter of a couple of days, it changed to this!

Trip to El Salvador

The weekend is here! What are you going to do ?

I have a recommendation for you : if you are from outside El Salvador you gotta come, if you are in El Salvador, you gotta go ! Come on, let's do some local tourism.

Last weekend I went to Chalatenango which is a department in El Salvador ( El Salvador is divided in 14 departments ), so, this one is up in the North and it's supossed to be colder than the rest...but since the weather is crazy these days, it is no longer like that, but still you get to stay away from the city and the hectic world and go to a calmer and peaceful place.

Our pick last week was the hotel Entre Pinos, it is the best hotel you can find there, it's really confortable and pretty.  Food is great, you can find anything! from delicious typical breakfast Salvadorean style, to pasta, hamburgers, seafood, you name it, they have it.

You can bring your beverages to the hotel, some snacks and you go out to picnic in all the places there are inside.  It's a huge place ! 2 pools, horseback riding, bike riding, a lake with swans, animals everywhere, lots of cabanas.  You will have fun in this place !

Let's start the tour:

This is a hammock from one of the towns nearby called La Palma.

 

 

You can find these peacocks allover the place, friendly cute animals !

 

One of the beautiful views inside the hotel.

Still in contact with the nature, that's what this is all about.

 

This is one of the pools I was telling you about. Right behind it is that mountain, how refresing right?

And next to the pool is the restaurant.

 

We took a tour to some waterfalls that are nearby and this is the trail that we had to follow to get

to the river, cross it and get to the waterfalls. Unfortunately, the weather is not so good this

time of the year and river was to big and it would have been a little dangerous to cross, but hey! we got to walk through the nature and clean our lungs.

 

 

Hope you like this about El Salvador, it sure was a relaxing and fun experience!

 

 



Weekend Getaway

Weekend just came and is about to leave..that's right, time sure flies !

So... to sum up my weekend, I have to use the word FOOD, food exemplifies pretty much what my life is about, life without good food is no life at all.

So...to start, there was a Mexican party !! who doesn't love tacos and nachos ? Here are some nice tips and ideas for Mexican parties! unfortunately I wasn't able to snap any pictures..

Clasic banners, cheap and chic at the same time, go crazy with all the colors!

 

Nachos are to die for! diet what? just give the nachos and i'm good to go !

 

Margaritas...the Margarita above is the best Margarita I've ever had in my life, it's from Chili's here in San Salvador, El Salvador.  You get addicted to this !

 

This is like real tacos look like, not like those Taco Bell out of the box tacos. 

 

And last but not least...Tequila ! A mexican party is not complete without tequila.
