I was thinking the other day, that I might need to get me some lighter gear to carry around, I’ve always thought you never know what can come up on your way, and I am not that big fan of cell phone photography. Even though some great images can be done with them, I might sound a bit outdated.

Well, this was probably one of the most challenging things I have done.

Since I spend a lot of time at the beach these days, we may have luck and see the whales that come to these warm waters, from December to March there’s always a good chance to catch them.

We hired a tour guide to take us on a boat, we had to be pretty early at Los Cobanos beach, here in El Salvador, to set off sailing to the adventure, he warned us there could be a chance that they would not come out, so we were kind of expectant trying to predict whether they came out or not.

I did not count that I’d get sick, I thought I was quite fine until the boat stopped, to hold the camera, while those gorgeous mammals made their show was not an easy thing.

But all that trouble was just worth it!

Flying…that feeling!

 

In spite of our rainy season, it was a good day to take off on a Ultra light plane, I guess it’s the closest feeling to a bird’s flight.

The location is close to the coastline here in El Salvador, where sugar cane and other plants are cultivated.

Most of this area is agricultural, due to its weather which is pretty warm most of the time.

The views from this perspective are just amazing, El Salvador has  a lot to offer, not all things are bad, there are always exceptions to the rules, this is one of them.

A wonderful experience worth to share!

I’ve been trying to land back into reality after taking 15 days off work (my office job) to go to England and some other European countries. For us 15 days is a luxury worth a lifetime since living in a country like El Salvador can become hectic at times.

 

There were many things that caught my attention there, people were just amazing, we felt welcome, the city is full of life, friendliness, music, it felt safe even though we were aware of the situation nowadays, I think many cultures converge there, it was some experience to visit. The food, the pubs -something we needed to try- was just great!

To me it was a gratifying experience to go back to the other side of the pond and revive -in a way- my old life over there 15 years ago -or so-, it all felt so familiar somehow.

But the most priceless thing, besides going with my hubby, was getting some amazing photographs.

 

My camera never felt heavy while walking…and  we did take really long walks around these touristic spots, at first I was a bit scared to carry it out around, but somehow I got over it. I was just another tourist after all. 🙂
