We arrived into El Salvador without much trouble and made our way to La Libertad. A stretched out town along the pacific offering fishing and surfing. We chose the latter of the two and surfed most of the time we were there. We stayed at yet again another Dutch owned hostel, roughly 400 yards from the beach. We found that our surfing abilities didn't match the break, that is the break broke us. A strong, relentless current that kept dragging us sideways away from the break. Most of the area was full of surfers, but we managed to catch a couple waves.
The most significant thing about hte area was the feeling of insecurity there. We never felt threatened or had any runins with anybody, but walking around the area just to grab some pupusas had people gocking and saying "es peligroso gringo".
Pupusas were the main hit, $1 for three, a traditional El Salvadorian dish, basicaly two pancaked sized toritillas grilled together with cheese and some sort of meat. We also managed to buy a 10lb yellow tail snapper... and grilled it up right... Tasty!
