Ruins and Puerto de Diablo







Two weekends ago we went and toured some ruins.  It was awesome to see something so old.  It’s also interesting to look at how building techniques and styles are still employed in parts of El Salvador.  After the ruins, we hiked the Pureto de Diablo (Devil’s gate).  The hike was awesome, there was water dripping and running all along the stone peak as we were climbing.  At the top, it was absolutely sublime.  We could see for kilometers around the peak.  It was a little cloudy, but it cleared up as we were hiking and we could see forever.  There was this one little hut on the edge of the cliff.  I can’t even imagine what it would be like to wake up in the morning and have this incredible, surreal view.
