Video: Inside of El Salvador

Imagine: You have to send 20 percent of your income each month to your parents to support them.
Or, $250 of your $1,250 monthly paycheck is sent to your kids… who are far away from home.
Or every month, your bank statement shows a $600 ding against $3,000 in deposits you just made.
Month after month, after month.
Adoption and More El Salvador Photos
Posted April 10th, 2009
I ran across a cool bunch of photos over at Flikr.com on El Salvador that I thought you might enjoy.
They’ll give you some visual insight into this beautiful country, including the culture.
Having been there last August, it was really a site to experience.
Click below to watch… or if your computer freaks out, you can go here.
Meanwhile, we’re still passing time with our El Salvador adoption, sitting in waiting mode.
Today is Day 900 (but who’s counting).
P+A: Patience plus Action.

Hitting The Wall
Posted April 2nd, 2009
Last October, I entered and finished my second marathon (26.2 miles, for those of you counting).
While I’m not currently training for a specific race, I’m still maintaining my running regimen. That means Saturday mornings, you’ll find me out ground-pounding, early… up around 4:45am.
These are what I call ”long-run” days, where I’ll log 9 to 13 miles.
I’ve learned a lot during my long runs, and much of it applies to this El Salvador international adoption journey.
