As I mentioned in a previous post about our day trip to Costa del Sol, a beautiful beach in El Salvador, here are some of the polaroids I took that day.
Our last day in El Salvdor, bags are packed and we are leaving in a couple hours to the airport. These last three weeks were everything I expected and more. I’m really happy that my father and I have become so close and this was a great opportunity for my husband and him to bond. I may actually be coming back here in a couple of months…we shall see.
Oh, I had a pedicure today and it was the strangest pedicure I’ve ever had in my life. My father gets his feet done there and likes it. But, it was completely different than any pedicure performed in the US. They were using tools and machinery that looked like torture devices and instead of using acetone to remove my nail polish, they used some buffing machine. So weird. Fortunately the place was sanitary, but I definitely would not come back nor recommend this to anyone. Oh..and they don’t use nail polish.
I took a bunch of photos from our trip that I will upload when I’m back in LA. Here are a few from the farmer’s market.
I was cleaning up some files on my laptop today when I came across a folder of vintage photo scans I forgot I had. This series from the 60’s of a sugar daddy with his “ladies” chillin on his yacht are too good not to share.

Spent a gorgeous day at the playa on Sunday. We went to Costa del Sol, which is one of the nicer beaches in El Salvador and was recommended by a few. The sun was scorching and the ocean was nice and warm. As we lay on our towels, so many interesting people passed us by, selling various items like sweets, hammocks, slushies, decorated shells, live crabs, necklaces and beaded accessories and mango-on-a-stick (yummmm!). I asked almost every person that came by if I could take a polaroid of them and every single one smiled and said yes. (Polaroids will be posted once I get back to the states and am able to scan them.) A sweet older lady, who has set up shop under a nearby hut, brought us cold beers throughout the afternoon, as we sunned and took in all the beautiful surroundings. On the way back we stopped at an outdoor restaurant by the coast and had ‘ceviche de camarones‘ (Shrimp ceviche).
