    Surf and yoga!

    20. marraskuuta 2023, El Salvador ⋅ ☀️ 27 °C

    Another amazing day in Salvador perfecting our surfing techniques!
    After our lesson we went to the village to try « pupusas », a local specialty that looks a bit like pancakes made of rice or corn flour filled with different mixtures. We indulged in three different ones: cheese and avocado, cheese and « asparagus » and cheese with squash and zucchini. Delicious!
    At sunset, we went for a yoga class in a beautiful setting at the Garten hotel!
    How inspiring!
    Let it be known that it was my first yoga class in person and I absolutely loved it!
    Dinner was a very tasteful seafood chowder complete with salad and mushroom focaccia!
    Early night for us tonight as we are leaving at 6:00 tomorrow morning to go on yet a new adventure!

    Surfing, turtles and caves!

    19. marraskuuta 2023, El Salvador ⋅ ☀️ 29 °C

    What a day filled with emotions!
    We finally got to go surfing!
    Both of us managed to stand on our boards many times!
    Such an exhausting sport though!!
    After a rest in the sun we set out to walk on the beach and go explore the nearby caves.
    On our way we had the sweetest surprise ever waiting for us!
    It was time to release the baby turtles to the sea! It was priceless to witness this phenomenon! Such an experience!
    We found the caves and had fun « immortalizing » them… and us inside them!
    Our afternoon was spent between the pool and our sunbeds.
    We had dinner at El Vikingo tonight with some of the other guests.
    Fish cakes for appetizers and a Vietnamina (Asian noodles loaded with veggies) with shrimps as our main course.
    After all the efforts of our surfing lesson we indulged in an amazing carrot cake complete with salted caramel and pecans!

    Exploring El Zonte!

    18. marraskuuta 2023, El Salvador ⋅ ☀️ 30 °C

    After a restful night, we had another delicious smoothie and a bowl of tropical fruits before setting off to explore the village of El Zonte!
    Colorful and filled with little shops and restaurants, it made for a nice morning walk. We also walked along the shoreline to explore potential photo opps! You must know us girls by now!!!
    Lunch was a delicious tuna salad and tuna wrap at the resort.
    The wind and current were still too strong to get out there on the surfboards this afternoon but Raul and Will are expecting us tomorrow morning as the sea will finally calm down.
    We spent the afternoon between the pool, our sunbeds and going for walks on the beach! We indulged in another smoothie! Life is beautiful!
    Fun fact: there was a power outage that lasted all afternoon and well after sunset (which was another gorgeous one!).
    For dinner we walked back to El Zonte to enjoy a shrimp cocktail and avocado salad (I know! We are obsessed!) at Escencia Nativa!

    Our first day in Salvador!

    17. marraskuuta 2023, El Salvador ⋅ ⛅ 26 °C

    A year after saying to Charlotte, while we were freezing our butts off surfing in the Pacific Ocean in San Francisco, that next year we would surf and the water would be warm, here we are at Eldorado Surf Resort in Salvador!
    We arrived in El Zonte this afternoon.
    Our first impressions: it’s defo a surfer’s paradise!
    The waves are huge!
    The crowd is young!
    Our first smoothie at the resort did not disappoint either!
    We were lucky to be greeted by an amazing sunset!
    We had salmon tartar on avocado salad for dinner. Delicious!
