notes from el salvador - since 2021

Surf trip to El Tunco

Spent the weekend chasing waves at El Tunco. Water was glassy, swell at 6ft, locals incredibly welcoming. Bus from San Salvador costs $1.50. Stayed at La Sombra hostel, $14/night for a clean private room.

Bitcoin Beach is still kicking

Walked into a small pupuseria in El Zonte and paid with sats over Lightning. The vendor handled the QR like a pro. Three years in and it still amazes me.

Volcan Santa Ana hike

2,381m summit, 4-hour climb, postcard views of the crater lake. Got there with the 7am bus from Santa Ana terminal. Bring water, layers, and snacks - the wind at the top is no joke.
