The year at Rancho Las Brisas started off fairly busy in the high season, tapered off in the spring, strangely picked up in the summer then died off until December. All in all can’t complain as we’re off the beaten track and just starting to be known.

January: Lassie’s pups were weaned and went to good homes, except for Hachie whom I kept.

February: Car died leaving the lawyers one day but only 1/2 a block from a stop for bus #102 to La Libertad. Cheap repair, cheap ride home so not bad at all.

March: My wedding on the beach, Playa San Diego, La Libertad, El Salvador.

              My new stepdaughter’s birthday.

April: An old friend from Antigua, Brian, visits on his way from Canada to Antigua, a bed is added to the dorm, Camila’s 4th birthday.

May: Josefina’s Church group on a day trip to Rancho Las Brisas.

June: Refurbished the carton and got a bike for Nataly.

July: Nataly takes a flower arrangement to school for sports day.

August: Werner from GETS Solar stopped in during his search for property to move his business to El Salvador, he will be providing Rancho Las Brisas with some solar options for our green energy policy. Family from the US spent the night.

September: Opened La Pupuseria Josefina and added a bed in the Gardner’s cottage.

October: Our taxi man got a new (to him) caban double pickup.

November: Went to the cemetery on the Day of the Dead to Spruce up mother’s grave and pay the yearly $1.00 maintance fee. Went on trip school as parent helper to Atlantis water park.

Josefina’s birthday, feliz cumpleaños

December: New grill for the pupuseria, Jessina birthday, Navidad/Christmas

A pretty good year in my books.

For those who checked in to see my latest Canada rant, I have changed the direction of this blog and will stick to posting my positive experiences at Rancho Las Brisas and relegate the Canada bashing to a new blog http://wwwcanadaeh.blogspot.com

The Wanderings of busman7 is proud to announce the creation of a sister site La Pupuseria Josefina where my wife updates the behind the scenes happenings of operating a Pupuseria at Rancho Las Brisas.

It seems I have been remiss in posting here for four months My Bad!

I get my act together and do better.

A lot has been going on, with getting used to married life again and new a enterprises at Rancho Las Brisas the book I plan to write has been relegated to the back burner for the time being as I concentrate on family and business.

With researching ways to promote my business and keeping up with the Rancho Las Brisas blog and my Facebook page, I kind of neglected you readers of this blog.

To rectify that situation I am adding pages this blog so you can keep up with the happenings going on here in my little corner of Paradise!

Preview of my story on Createspace The Epic Bus Trip

             A new family, new life, new profession!

My new answer to travel forums, having just been banned again from yet another one, this time the so called ‘new’  Debbie’s for having the audacity to call out the forum bully by telling the truth, it finally sunk in that:

1) NO mods want the TRUTH posted when it is contrary to what their fragile egos believe!

2) NO owner wants the TRUTH posted when it irks regular posters thus taking $$$ from their bottom line!

In other words or the Real TRUTH Must Never be told!

This axiom applies to all travel forums I have participated in, which led to decision to refrain from further enriching their owners by giving free use of my experiences only to have some censored and replaced with falsehoods written by others.

As I have already had an article published by BootsnAll Karma or Coincidence in Bangkok, which was given a good critique by an author friend, it was easy to conclude that a  more profitable use of my time would be writing a series of travel related books. “The Wanderings of Busman7” will be published through Amazon’s Createspace.com site that can be purchased, giving the TRUE uncensored story of my experiences.

Of Course I will continue operating Rancho Las Brisas Bed & Breakfast where one can visit to explore El Salvador and swap travel stories in the evenings.

ps I shall post here when the 1st book is out tentatively titled The Epic Bus Trip
