El Salvador trip

I'm back from El Salvador, where I believe it is sugar cane harvesting season. I saw several truck loaded with sugar cane, like the one pictured below. They were also burning the fields, so in some areas it was very smoky, and the smell of smoke was pretty heavy when we were flying.



So you may wonder why am I posting a picture of a sugar cane truck when I went to El Salvador to cover training of Salvadoran troops for their upcoming deployment to Iraq, especially when I shot more than 700 photos of the training. Two reasons: 1) I try to keep too much of the mission I support away from this blog, and 2) I haven't had the chance to go through the photos and decide which I am going to release. When I do get them released, I will put a link on this blog to my Flickr site. I might even post one here.

I did shoot a couple personal shots during the flight. Here's one:



I don't have any trips planned in the near future, but we have a big jump next week, and I'm going to the opening game of the local football (soccer) team. I may also go into town tomorrow, and I may shoot a few photos.
