Posada Suchitla, the hotel that we stayed at in Suchitoto. This is the only "warm" shower we had while in El Salvador. There's a heating element in the shower head. Those wires come out of the wall, follow the shower head water pipe, and were taped together with black electrical tape. Building codes? "We don't need no steenking building codes."
 
And this was how they adapted a single handle faucet, designed for both hot and cold water, to a single (cold) water source. Handle to the right for cold water and to the left for cold water. Well it's not THAT cold, since the ambient temperature averages about 75 or 80 degrees.
 
Preparing dinner at the Women's Co-op in Suchitoto. Yup that's a chicken being cleaned.
 
Virginia's long-time friend, Miguel. He was a guerilla fighter during the war and was exiled from El Salvador, staying with Virginia in Maryland for almost a year.
