The first place the department of tourism took us was to a small town that is one of the largest exporters of balsamo. As soon as we got off the buses we were greeted by the children of the town and another band playing for us. Next they had a demandstrtion on how the get the balsamo oil. Balsamo is the main ingredient in conditioner and is also used for medicines, I will post the whole proses in a later posting(Click here to read about balsamo). After the demonstration we went to a balsamo farm and showed us how they extract the oils from the trees and some of us had a chance to try it for our selfs.
We had learned a ton about balsamo and we were on the rode again. The next stop was a small town where we had the honer to be a part and witness a great festival that the locals they have had since when the Spaniards had colonized El Salvador. To read about this festival click here.
