Henceforth I’ll be calling El Salvador as either “ES” or “The Dor.” El Salvador is just too long to be typing out. Its a funky name anyways. Imagine naming your country “The Savior.” Doesn’t make any sense.
“The Dor” should not be confused with “The Doors” which had some pretty good hits in the 60s. “The Dor” never had any good hits and was only known for having dusty album covers. I never could play any of their records. Way too scratchy.
So I’m slowing getting anxious about this trip. What if I get sick? Seriously sick. The thought of a third world hospital is slightly upsetting. I’d rather not think about that. I hate to think about those things, but somehow I consider the worst case scenerios.
While we are over there telling the El Salvadorians how to wash their hands and to keep clean, we ourselves must keep clean. There’s alot nasty stuff out there. And for some odd reason all the germs must be in The Dor. I’ve been warned countless number of times to always wash my hands…..only drink bottled water. The usual stuff you’re always told, but you always take for granted when you’re in a third world country.
On another note, I’ve broken out my Peter Gabriel “Us” CD. You know, the one with “Steam,” “Digging in the Dirt,” and “Kiss That Frog” on it. My new discovery of “Washing of the Water” prompted my new found interest. It’s a good CD. “Digging…” is one of the better songs. As I remember it, the Dirt video was pretty good. Peter driving around with his girlfriend in a Jeep…with camera angle shot from different perspectives. As a companion to the CD, I have the “Secret World Live” CD, which is sorta just a rehash of the Us CD with a little more hit songs like “Sledgehammer” and “Red Rain.” Am I getting through to you people? Does anybody remember Peter Gabriel? You know, the guy who did “Sledgehammer” and “Big Time” for MTV?
