Okay, I'm tired of this El Nino and 35 degree weather in San Francisco. I'm bouncing to the beaches of 95 degree La Libertad, El Salvador tonight. I'll post pics

So if we make it to the beaches in El Salvador without getting killed tomorrow then I have to worry about survivng the waves. One of my coworkers whos going with me talked me into surfing, or learning how to. I hear there tides are perfect for surfing. Which means they are shyt for swimming since that means the tides are strong. Pray i dont drown despite me being a decent swimmer.

I don't know how to search within a thread, but has anyone here been to Madrid? Amsterdam? Belgium?

What were your experiences? TIA!

Madrid - I partially grew up there. It's very busy and pretty much anything you want to find, you can find there. What are your interests?
Amsterdam - I loved this place. Visit the Anne Frank museum definitely. The red light district is, an experience...outside of that it's actually a very beautiful place; there are more bikes than cars it seems, the people are huge and it's just an all around interesting place.
Belgium- Was more of a pass through place for me. I found them to be a bit more social than most northern Europeans. Nice food for the most part.

Visiting Morocco for the New Years at Royal Mansour in Marrakech. I don't even know the first thing to do there or what's the special thing to buy from the country. They have an assistant for us but I feel like they'll try to get us to add on every little thing.

I went there this year, visiting Rabat, Fez, Marrakech and Casablanca. Fez was interesting, I visited a carpet market and an old town within Fez, where they have the tanneries (where leather is made). I also visited the marketplace in Marrakech. The market owners while try and overcharge you for items that are clearly cheaper in price so prepare to use negotiation skills, especially if they know you are from the US. Casablanca was beautiful.

I love Arabic bazaars, they're so hectic and colorful. We have a cooking class scheduled and I really hope we get to taste some of that tea. Did you eat anything at Djemma? If so, was it any good?

TBH I don't remember any of the places where we ate, even at the Marketplace. We usually just chose random places or places where the menu looked interesting. The food did take some getting used to, but I enjoyed it for the most part. Lots of fresh orange juice but I mostly drank the tea. Many places serve olives as appetizers, and/or bread with sauce. We went to this burger type place and I ordered a hot dog, since we were in a rush. What I got was a sandwich with cut up hot dog and full of olives. Overall, I think you'll enjoy your time there.

Spent New Years in Guatemala brehs. I gotta stop Snapchatting all my pics cause I keep forgetting to save them

Driving from the airport to Antigua. Guatemala City is smoggy as shyt. Makes LA's air look clean. The most polluted city ive been in



Antigua was really amazing. An old spanish town with its original building and roads. Felt like I was in ancient pompeii staring at that damn volcano. Shyt was actually kinda scary.
