ACAJUTLA, EL SALVADOR

This was a quiet little port, perfect for the day after the big wedding event. I was still tired and worn out from all the festivities, so I only when into the port town to take look around and go to grocery store and pick up essentials,  deodorant and stain stick!  While on port shuttle, I got to catch up with friends Tom & Donna, pictured below .

When we got back to ship, we saw the above performance by local group. They were really entertaining, could see their passion and joy while playing. Don't think they got many visitors in this little port.

I got to do 14 dives and 5 snorkel trips over our two weeks at Eco Cove Resort. I feel much more confident and comfortable diving, practice does truly help! Eco has these t-shirts that list all their Resort excursions - we made a nice dent in all of them and it's hard to pick a favorite!
