http://carolsimonson.blogspot.com/2011/12/recipe-for-better-day.html
Exploring, learning and working in El Salvador. December 22, 2011. A recipe for a better day. Sometimes it's hard to stay positive, especially when people you know, neighbors, and people you don't even know are verbally attacking you. So how do you stay positive? Well, here's how I do it. (Or attempt to do it.). I think about my good, close friends and all the fun, ridiculous times we've spent together. (Facebook's new Activity Log is actually a pretty good way to do that!

Exploring, learning and working in El Salvador. April 10, 2010. I walked out of my house at 12 noon. Definitely not the best time to be traveling. The hot oven heat practically knocked me off my feet. But at least it was dry! Extra bonus - my hair was wet from my recent shower.)

Today is a game between Barcelona and Real Madrid - t...

Exploring, learning and working in El Salvador. December 11, 2011. I love discovering cute little hole-in-the-wall type places. And what's better than finding a couple city blocks lined with them! I'm obviously not the first person to discover Paseo El Carmen. Last night some friends and I went out to try a new bar and the whole Paseo. I'll definitely be exploring it more.

Exploring, learning and working in El Salvador. September 22, 2010. Those might not have been my parents' exact parting words when they dropped me off at the Holiday Inn: Georgetown for predeparture orientation, but I think that those are the understood parting words for anybody going off on a trip, especially for two years of Peace Corps in a developing country.
