I can share that my fondest memories of El Salvador took place during the summer of 2021. I was able to explore the country with my wife’s family, and eat all of the delicious food that I would only hear Salvadoran people talk about. In the city of Olocuilta I was able to eat Pupusas until my heart, soul, and stomach were satisfied. I was worried because of the violence and media portrayal of El Salvador, but was pleasantly surprised when every area I visited was patrolled by multiple military service members armed with automatic rifles watching over the people and their belongings. I truly felt safe, and not one tattooed gang member was seen during the 2 weeks I was in the country.
