We wrapped up today in El Salvador. We'll have 4 days liberty and pick up Joe Jacoby. We'll also have a vert-rep (vertical replenishment) with the Lewis & Clark as we head to Costa, everyone is looking forward to watching the events unfold. It's considered an "all hands" which means everyone will be working to move everything to its appropriate spots..similar to our working parties we had in Norfolk before we left.

El Salvador is a beautiful country. The people were kind and hard workers...The med sites were perfect...one was a big, round open arena and the last one was 200 yards from the beach, about and hour from the boat. No one had a complaint about that site. We basically worked in Acujutla and Izalco.

A ranking officer arrived today for a visit at the last site. A few of the kids who had learned to wash their hands taught the officer the hand washing procedure they'd learned. I felt it was more important they teach him.  We didn't do water at the last site as we we're only there 2 days. However, the school had a fantastic water system so I feel that water was probably not too bad. We did provide soap for everyone to use throughout the day. Finished off the last day with a knee deep ocean visit as we we were allowed to go to the beach for a few minutes before we left.

This is most likely the last post until we make land in Costa Rica. Hope all is well at home with everyone and we shall see you sooner than later. We officially only have 5 more Fridays until we are stateside. Kinda sad to think about.

Love and peace to all
