Cipitio. In a nutshell Cipitio is a crafty, supernatural being that attempts to lure young women into ilicit relations. You can see it in his eyes! Juayua, El Salvador.

A group of Salvadoran school children. I especially like the smile on the girl's face and the big guy in the middle with his arms crossed keeping his eye on the "loco gringo". Juayua, El Salvador.

While I was taking this photo Paco standing next to me making these kids laugh. Thus, most of their eyes are looking to my right. The little boy in the far right is so cute! Talnique, EL Salvador

This fellow went to school with Paco. We met him just a few minutes before this photo was taken. He had just come out of the fields and as such he was very dirty. Not five minutes later, we ran into him again and he looked like this! Look at how white that t-shirt is and his hair was perfect! He was very happy to see Paco and he was for lack of a better term, joyful. He was just happy. Talnique, EL Salvador

This lady asked me where my family came from. I told her I was German. She said no, you are Hispanic. We went back and forth for like ten minutes and she was still convinced that I am Hispanic. (My German forebearers are very surprised to hear this) Ruinas de Copan, Honduras.
