Around The World In 80 Waves

El Salvador is the smallest country in Central America, and unlike Mexico it wont take me long to drive across it.

Rather than bother with their own currency, everything and everybody has used dollars since 2001, which helps me because I like to have an emergency stash of them so I can replenish my diminished stocks while here.

There was a brutal civil war here in the 80s, and the country gets hit pretty frequently by natural disasters i.e earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, landslides, etc which devastate the infrastructure here.

 More and more tourists are willing to come here for the excellant weather and surf though, and I have found it quite cosmopolitan. I only hope the waves later on this trip will be as good as they are here.
