Jaza's World Trip

San Salvador

San Salvador is the capital city, and the only really sizeable city, in the tiny Central American nation of El Salvador. I didn't go into the city, or explore the country at all, on this trip — I just passed through San Salvador airport, and changed flights, on my way from Brazil to the USA.

Hasta la vista, Suramérica

Well, that's it. After six long and incredible months, I'm done with South America. Today was my final (half of a) day on this continent, and I spent it most unspectacularly, performing a convoluted three-legged flight that got me out of here: São Paulo to Lima; Lima to San Salvador; and San Salvador to New York. After sleeping in São Paulo airport last night (got in about an hour or two of shut-eye — wasn't that bad), my first flight took off at 6:30am. My third flight didn't get in to New York until 11:30pm — over 16 hours later. Wasn't the quickest or the most convenient way to fly north: but the airline — TACA Int'l, the same guys that I flew from Quito to Santiago with, about 6 weeks ago — was quite good; and the ticket (which I bought before I left Sydney) was pretty cheap.
