These pictures were taken on my recent mission to El Salvador. We were brining in relief supplies for the victims of Hurricane Mitch. Landing at El Salvador Intl. airport on the west coast, we did not see any of the hurricane damage, however. El Salvador itself was very beautiful as you will see in these pictures.
