i had read that el salvador has the 3rd highest homicide rate in the world and believed it when we were met by 2 armed tourist police who stayed with us for the duration of our stay. even in the rural areas we couldn't cross the road and one of them would follow or watch us. they were absolute gems and i felt like royalty as they stood out in the street to stop traffic for us. there were armed guards in front of world vision national, in front of the gated compound where we stayed and in every kind of business everywhere we went.
