Navidad Salvadoreno - Part 1

Tucson at the Gran Via in San Salvador

We braved crowded airports and cramped planes to visit Mario's family in El Salvador for the holidays this year.  Mario grew up in the U.S. and we try to visit every year.  While Mario and I have both been to El Salvador several times, this was Windham's first time visiting the country and meeting many family members.

We spent our first several days in San Salvador with my gran amiga, Yeymi, and her kind husband.  While the food in this picture left much to be desired, we can never get enough of our wonderful hosts.

One of our biggest trip highlights was visiting the San Salvador, El Salvador LDS Temple.  Mario and I took turns going inside while the other stayed outside on the grounds with Yeymi and the baby.  It's not an exaggeration to say it is the most beautiful and well constructed building in the entire country.  (Perhaps excepting the ruins in their prime???)  Although we were only there a short time, it was well worth it.
