So the other weekend Jack & I had the opportunity to go to the beach. Playa el Tunco is a fairly small but extremely chill town on the Pacific ocean.
Compared to the constant alertness needed in San Salvador, El Tunco has carved out a niche as a destination for surfers the world over. The locals and the extra tourist police that roam the streets, make even the most travel nervous gringa / gringo to feel at ease enough to walk around in just their bikinis & bare feet.
We met up with Doctor Daniella from the MM trip. She comes to the beach as often as she can on weekends after long days of visiting communities. Still, her job doesn't leave her as she usually plays the part of local physician for tourists & locals a like. Needless to say with a ton of sun, some rough housing in the waves, and beginner surf lessons at a rather reasonable price of $10 a day; Jackie and I will be more than happy to return.

The sun is so intense that even with multiple coats of sunblock both Jack & I ended up rather crispy and pink or...red....
