I just came back from a 6-week vacation from El Salvador (Central America) my wife's home country. It was awesome! Another world of fun! No politics, no Covid, no nothing. I'm going to retire there. The motorcycle scene and biker population is 10x times that of Toronto. Take this for example; in San Miguel a city of only 180,000 people there are more than 50 bike repair shops. Just in one spot there were 6 side-by-side each other. The mechanics are teenagers 18 to 22 years of age but they will take an engine apart and re-assemble it back again. I saw a crashed, totaled motorcycle revived to near mint conditions, the bent chassis and handlebars brought to specs with home-made hydraulic machines. Every single destroyed part either fixed or replaced. The bike painted exactly like it was before the crash. Anyways here are some pics of my trip taken by me;

In the village of "El Capulin" in San Miguel province, a Salvadoran girl saw me and asked me to take a pic of her while she kissed a lizard.
The road that leads to El Icacal beach is littered with product banners for Coca-Cola, Fanta and Pepsi. It feels like wonderland going through it.
My wife poses for a picture after a long ride in 37C tropical weather, near the foothills of a mountain range, in front of a townhouse complex on the outskirts of San Miguel city.
