long weekend

This weekend was a nice 3-day weekend, due to the inauguration of the new president (even Hilary Clinton came to town to get in on the action!). we had yet another baby shower this weekend, but she didnt even make it to the shower, because she was already at the hospital! and we had a going-away dinner at the house for all of the american teachers at school that will be leaving this year. im sad to see them go!
then on sunday, elvis and i went for a little hike in the "ecopark" here in the city, a coffee plantation and park built on the side of the San salvador volcano. here are some pics from that day:
