Last Day
March 16, 2008
Last round of pics from San Salvador are up over at . We visited the volcano and the Mayan Ruins at Joyas de Cerén and San Andrés–as well as the chapel where Óscar Romero was killed, and his home–yesterday. The Volcano was stunning, the ruins were fantastic, and the Romero’s home was very moving, particularly the wall of plaques sent by people from all over the world thanking him for miracles.I also shot some video, below, of the volcano, which was absolutely breathtaking. It includes some shot of the small (farms? orchards? I’m not really sure what a small collection of coffee trees is) we passed on the way up where people grow coffee on the side of the volcano. The camera didn’t really capture what were were seeing–the street was too narrow and the lans angle wasn’t wide enough, but all I can say is this: the next time you’re in Startbucks, think about the people who grew that latte.
