We really enjoyed our various day tours while in El Salvador. On our last day, we rested. Our tour guide, Chamba, had told us about the Kayu Surf Resort just a few minutes' walk from our rental which had a restaurant and direct beach access (and an outdoor shower) so, after morning pool time, we headed there for lunch and beach time. My mom was too tuckered out after the long hike the day before so Dad brought her some take-out. We enjoyed cold drinks and watching the surfistas on the waves in this popular surf spot.
The food was excellent but took a while to arrive. This is what happens when you give a bored, hot five-year-old a digital camera :)
Look who came in from surfing just as we had ordered!
My ceviche was delicious!
After the meal, we headed out to the sand.
The ocean was SOOOO warm (perhaps the warmest I've ever felt and RARE for the Pacific!), and that's coming from someone who hates to be cold and wet!
Iver was suspicious for sneaker waves, which is a thing in Humboldt.
Niall was initially apprehensive about the ocean but when he realized it was warm and he could cling to me, he enjoyed it!
Once in the water, Iver loved jumping over and ducking under the waves.
It's hard to take family selfies with my water camera.... and right after this, a wave hit us and knocked my sunglasses off, to be swallowed by the sea!
Sand castle time!
We rinsed off a lot of sand and spent the rest of the day relaxing at our house's pool. While we may have worn my parents out with the walking and the heat, I felt that this week was the perfect blend of sunny, hot weather, lovely people, scenery and hiking, and delicious (mostly sea)food. I slept so well and felt so little stress even while traveling with the munchkins, truly feeling rested after this *trip* (I always hesitate to call trips with children "vacations")! The kids really enjoyed games and family time and Niall told me, "I want to live in the Yacht House in El Salvador!" I highly recommend visiting this little gem of a country if you get a chance! Until next break/family reunion!
