El Salvador & Guatemala
I recently got back from a trip to El Salvador and Guatemala and figured I post up some pics. My wife and I went with another couple that travels with us regularly. We had an amazing trip, and it was very cool to see some of Central America. The weather was cloudless sunny skies every single day with temps ranging from 42C-46C with the humidex. The place that we stayed at was beautiful and the the people were exceptionally friendly. Guatemala, I thought, was stunningly beautiful. It's also not every day you get to see a volcano erupt and spew ashes, so I thought that was pretty cool. I tried a few beers down there, and for the most part, they sucked. It certainly wouldn't stop me from going back down there though.

Re: El Salvador & Guatemala
"Twenty years ago — a time, by the way, that hops such as Simcoe and Citra were already being developed, but weren’t about to find immediate popularity — there wasn’t a brewer on earth who would have gone to the annual Hop Growers of American convention and said, “I’m going to have a beer that we make 4,000 barrels of, one time a year. It flies off the shelf at damn near $20 a six-pack, and you know what it smells like? It smells like your cat ate your weed and then pissed in the Christmas tree.” - Bell’s Brewery Director of Operations John Mallet on the scent of their popular Hopslam.

Chris, it's Volcan de Fuego (Volcano of Fire). It was pretty darn cool to see it erupt and spew ashes every 15 minutes or so.chalmers wrote:Good stuff!
