Woo Hoo!!
Just got back from El Salvador (visiting the in-laws)....

We spent a night at an incredibly beautiful resort called "Las Flores De Loisa"
It's actually a coffee farm (but no processing) at about 1200 meters elevation, with TONS of flowers and coffee plants everywhere. They offer little cottages to rent and have a superb restaurant as well.  It's kind of like camping though because no heat or AC....but the place is breathtaking!

Anyway, the pics I took there are uploaded to Photobucket CLICK HERE

And the rest of the trip (lots of family pictures as well as Salvadorian scenery) can be found HERE




Just check out the coffee cherries.....gorgeous!
