El Salvador 2008: Day 4 - Izalco

Peter, Ann, Tim and the rest of us in the van for the 90 minute drive to San Marcos

Father German (wearing blue t-shirt on left) explains the project to us. We will building a road in front of the church. In the rainy season, this section of road becomes impassable.

The first step is to grade the dirt road, placing sand where needed and pounding it down
