We left the coast of El Salvador after 6 nights. We had found a great place to stay and really enjoyed meeting the Peace Corps volunteers and the Austrians, but the new crowd was becoming dumber by the minute. By the time we left we had actually wished we had left a day or two earlier since El Salvador has so much to see and we felt like we wasted a bit of our time hanging around a bunch of losers. One day I was sitting in the internet café next to two of the girls there and one says “I’m so fucking bored. Is anything going on in this town?” The other girl responded “No. And to be honest, I’ve never met anyone here that I would actually really want to hang out with.” And the first girl says “Yeah, that’s pretty much Central America.” Aside from this place and one other place, we’ve only meet interesting people. We were just on a different wavelength than these people and knew it was time to leave.
