The Royal Decameron






Last year we illegally drove our Honda with Illinois plates around Guatemala for months before the truth sank in that they wanted to charges us about $7,000 for Guatemalan plates. Michael bribed his way past the Guatemalan border and returned the Hybrid to the States. Now that we drive a Jeep with Guatemalan plates, we can leave the country with no fear of our vehicle getting confiscated! We took a short trip across the border to a resort in El Salvador. Behold our family pit stop with Shalom using her potty and Dahlia having a snack. At the Royal Decameron, we enjoyed the pools, beach, and all-you-can eat & drink all-inclusive resort lifestyle for a few days. Dahlia had her first swimming experience in a warm, ocean-fed pool while Michael held her. Once she got used to it, she loved it! (If it looks like Michael has a black eye it is from taking an elbow to the eye during an Ultimate Frisbee game earlier that week.)

We miss you all here in chilly, flat, volcano-free Illinois. We'll pick some apples and pumpkins on your behalf if you build a sand castle for us.
