    Santa Ana

    December 19, 2022 in El Salvador ⋅ ☀️ 30 °C

    Highlights:
    - Taking a chicken bus along the 'flower route' to see a small town that had a food market and meeting friends from earlier in our travels
    - Watching the world cup final at the hostel then watching the trophy celebrations in the centre on the big screen
    - Listening to bands playing Christmas music in the square

    Lowlights:
    - Not being able to hike the Santa Ana volcano - we couldn't do both the world cup and the hike, and Serena hadn't recovered yet from the Acatenango volcano!

    Food and drinks;
    - Savoury pies!! We had chicken and chicken and mushroom
    - Our first (of many) pupusas - stuffed tortillas, these were with cheese and beans
    - A plate of meat and a fresh pineapple juice at the food market
    - Horchata - this one was made with a type of ground seed called morro and tasted a bit like chestnuts - delicious!
