Cuando llegué a El Salvador, me introducieron a los profesores, a los aprendices y también a mi traductora, Ana Marina Figueroa. Todo mundo quería saber qué pensaba de su país y si me gustaban las pupusas. No puede estar en El Salvador por mucho tiempo sin darse cuenta de que la pupusa es la comida preferida del país. En aquel moment, no pudo responder a la pregunta, pero al terminar la noche, había cenado pupusas. Un consejo: Si puede, ¡debe encontrar un restaurante salvadoreño y probarlas! Son sabrosas.

Another Miracle Report from El Salvador
The Suzuki Association of El Salvador, had hosted two Suzuki Festivals: the first one in 2001, with a very modest participation of 20 children and five music teachers, but with two wonderful Suzuki violin teachers, Caroline McCall and Louita Clothier, who were brave enough to come to El Salvador, Central America, to share their knowledge of the Suzuki Method. In year 2003, the II Suzuki Festival took place with 20 music teachers who were members of the Symphony Orchestra of El Salvador, as well as music teachers from several schools, and the participation of 55 children and four Suzuki teachers in violin, piano and philosophy.
Guitarras!
When I arrived in El Salvador, I was introduced to many of the faculty and trainees as well as my translator, Ana Marina Figueroa. Everyone wanted to know how I liked their country and what I thought of “pupusas.” You can’t be in El Salvador very long without learning that pupusas are the favorite food there. At that first encounter, I couldn’t answer the question, but before the evening was over pupusas were served as the main course at dinner. I have this advice: find a Salvadoran restaurant if you can and try some! They’re pretty good.
