Fog up the river, where it flows among green aits and meadows; fog down the river, where it rolls defiled among the tiers of shipping and the waterside pollutions of a great (and dirty) city. ― Charles Dickens, Bleak House All photos taken in Toronto, last night, with the Kitcam iPhone App which I…

Finally – 45 gigs later, the El Salvador trip is complete and processed :) I want to start with a really beautiful place, that happens to also be the most ‘touristy’ place we saw on the trip – El Tunco. El Tunco (the pig, in their aboriginal language) is so named for the rock formation…
