I'm glad I did—because "La vida Barranquilla" is fascinating: visually very engaging, full of well-written details which make a "word picture" possible, and much more. It's a very good idea, I think, to set up "personal reflection" blogs like this because they furnish a way of recording thoughts as they happen and also a way of being able to find those thoughts easily: you don't have to remember where you've put note cards or a paper diary. As such, they're excellent as archival materials. When well written and full of observations and detail (as "La vida Barranquilla" is), they're also fascinating reading for others.<BR/><BR/>The title of this blog refreshes a memory of a choral composition, "The Breakers Off Barranquilla" (Joseph Clokey). I wish I could find a CD or .mp3 of this music: it's hauntingly beautiful, and I can still hear it (kind of) in my head. <BR/><BR/>Kudos to you for this fine account of your experiences in El Salvador and other locations you've traveled to while there.<BR/><BR/>Your blog reminds me of a similar one being created by a friend who's in the Yucatán now: check out <A HREF="http://lianadevine.wordpress.com/" REL="nofollow">Ventana Vistas</A> if you can!<BR/><BR/>Best wishes from Arizona!<BR/><BR/>Dennis in PhoenixDennishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14406878238507555896noreply@blogger.com
