Random Images & Thoughts...

I complain about needing new shoes, then I saw someone who had no feet.

What good is it to be able to spread your wings if you can't fly anywhere? (Tio Francis can I please free these birds?)

↑ Those birds gotta hate this one ↓

Below are images that I took at Thermos del Rio, which is a basically a hot spring. The waters are warm due to geothermal heat coming from adjacent volcanoes. These thermal waters are said to be both therapeutic and healing because of its heat and high mineral content.






This is mi Tio Carlos. He is my grandmother's brother (on my father's side). He is 82 years old and can still hold it down with the whiskey!




My father peeled this orange, with no intention of having it photographed, but I had to take a picture after I saw the craftsmanship.


This is what they serve at the donut shops here. All this for only $5 and it tastes home-made.

Below are images of the house I'm staying at in Santa Ana. It's been in my family since about the late 40's. My grandparents, Papa Toño and Mama Alis raised their children here. I was brought up here the first couple years of my life as well. Many of my cousins were also brought up here. Today it belongs to mi Tio Francis, one of seven children that were raised here by my grandparents. He's rebuilt the house from the bottom up, but at the moment it's empty since he is currently in Lawrence, Massachusetts.





La famosa pila. This is in Salvadorean home. I like to bathe here. Some times you have to because there is no water, which was the case the first couple days here.


El mango verde o mango tierno - it's delicious with salt. I think this is the color my uncle was going for when he painted the exterior of the house. LOL

My uncles old chevy...A work in progress.

I like to call the photographs below my "Drive-By Shootings" since they were all taken from the passenger seat while driving.
