[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Wow, a lot of diverse opinions! Our family has been to Costa Rica and Nicaragua and we liked both places. This time, I am taking my 70-year old mom along so I am a little more risk-averse. We are hoping for pretty beaches and also hiking. Not planning on going to restaurants or stores except for groceries. In any case, thanks to the PPs and welcome any other advice or suggestions![/quote]

OP - if you want to go you should go!!  I've been twice and I'm so glad I did (granted it was 15 years ago).  The first was with my in-laws (pre-kids).  [b]I had an advantage because they are both former Peace Core, had lived there and knew where to take us, knew people so they were our guides and had a great inside view of the country.

The second time I went back with my mom, who at the time, was a Spanish teacher and we went on her Spring Break.  We had my in-laws good friends take us around.  We stayed in the nicest hotel in San Salvadore which was (in 2006) was $120.00 American dollars.  Everyone is so friendly

The things I recommend 1.   Learn about the assassination of Archbishop Oscar Romero and the Jesuit Priests.   Fascinating history and museum display

2.  Suchitoto - interesting Colonial town.  We said at a nice inn right on Lake Suchitoto

3.  Go to the pupupa restaurant on top of a volcano overlooking San Salvadore (can't remember the name).  To this day, my husband and I say they were the best
pupusas we've ever had and what a view.

4.  Take a hike and see the coffee bean fields

5.  Surfing (if you're into this)

Note:  we did a lot of things off the beaten track like see the medical clinic in a tiny village where my MIL worked at or the school my FIL helped get up and running or driving around the city

Sorry.  Having a Peace Corps volunteer show you around is apparently disqualifying.   :)  [/quote]

PP here - ha!  Ok, kinda true[/quote]
