Day 3 - El Mozote, Perquín and birthday celebration!

 It's not unusual to see trucks being used to transport people between towns.

El Mozote

Memorial to the ca. 1,000 women, children and elderly massacred by US-supported government forces at El Mozote in December 1981

Perquín

 Brief visit to Perquín (near the border with Honduras) for lunch. The mural and swings are part of a preschool run by the Perquín Christian base community.
Time was short so saved a visit to the Museum of the Revolution for another time.

Happy Birthday!

Back at El Izote, our home base, we celebrate a very special birthday, with  ice cream cake,
 hugs,
 face decorating,
and smiles all around.
