Wow! I'm goin' for the three-peet! tres posts in tres dias.

There is a presidential election here on Sunday. Here is a quote and a link to a better analysis than I could possibly give you. (I am reminded of the warning I got in Lebanon: If you think you understand Lebanese politics, they probably weren't explained to you correctly. Same here!

From Tim's El Salvador Blog   www.luterano.blogspot.com


The second round of El Salvador's presidential election will be next Sunday, March 9.   The second round includes the two highest finishers from the first round voting -- Salvador Sánchez Cerén of the  FMLN on the left and Norman Quijano of ARENA on the right.   The winner of this fifth post civil war election will take office on June 1.

But you have to read the comments to be reminded of Elliot Abrams' ugly reputation in Central America.

Meanwhile, life goes on! I did some shopping and made some friends at the local Mercado Merliot. 











And there's a place to eat Right Next Door!
