Saturday Activities
This morning after breakfast, consisting of re-fried beans, scrambled eggs, fried plantains, and coffee, we went on historical tour of El Salvador. We visited a couple churches and learned about Monseigneur Oscar Romero. He was the Arch Bishop who was murdered in 1980 which led to an uprising of the people he advocated for. This escalated the growing civil unrest and ultimately a civil war which lasted until 1992.
After lunch we broke into teams and went on a scavanger hunt. Danielle, Dan, and Joel WON big time. We all had a good time and learned a lot about the culture in El Salvador and honed our Spanish.
Finally, we had a great supper and heard from Chuck who is the Central America CMA coordinator.
On Tuesday afternoon we may do a live broadcast from the Tia Ana house. Stay tuned for more details on this blog.
