A trip to El Salvador

In the summer of 1998, my grandparents took my brother and me to San Salvador,

El Salvador in Central America. The reason for this visit was to see my uncle, aunt, and

my two cousins. My uncle and aunt are missionaries introducing God to people that

havent had a chance. El Salvador is a very interesting place with its people, poverty and

paradise.

El Salvador has some intriguing people. They are very quiet, polite and also fun to be

around. They love to spend time with their family and to have a good time. Salvadorians

also like to be around Americans, especially if they have blond hair. One time my uncles

church threw a street party. Many of the local children gathered around me, with my

blond hair. They were of the volcano, we could see all of San Salvador, plus the raging water of the ocean.

I had a wonderful and adventurous journey to San Salvador. I will remember it for

the rest of my life. It has taught me in so many ways. I know now not to take for granted

what I have in life; I have some possessions some Salvadorians would love to have. I

learned to always be kind and generous to other people like my hosts were to me. Not

everyone is nice to people when they first meet them. I hope to visit this beauteous place

again so I can see my family but to also see the wonderful world of El Salvador.
