San Salvador
From First day in Central America in San Salvador, El Salvador on Dec 18 '06
Was flying out of San Francisco. Had a connecting flight in Guadalajara, MX and Mexico City, MX. The San Francisco to Guadalajara flight went great because they upgraded my flight from regular economy to first class!! That really helped out because it was the longest flight, 3 hrs.
Flew into San Salvador airport which was about 1.5 hrs outside the city, asked the driver to take us to a hotel that was recommnded by a local on the plane. It was supposed to be in a nice area, Colonia Escalon. Unfortunately that hotel did not exist and we had to settle for another nice hotel. very nice hotel in a nice safe area.
That day I went out to eat in Zona Rosa, had the best some of the best steak (churrasco) Ive ever eaten in my life. After that relaxed and went to bed.
Second day was spent just hanging out, went to the a huge mall (they say the biggest in Central America). After that hanged out in the downtown part of the city, but unfortunately it was very dirty and polluted, not what I expected. I spent about an hour there and got a taxi back to the hotel.
At night went to Zona Rosa, had more drinks at few bars and went to hotel around 1am, slept, and got ready to go to Guatemala the next day.
