casa cielo y tierra

This blog will be a series of entries of our daily life at "Cielo y Tierra" and of our family and friends that come and share our small corner of "heaven" here in El Salvador. A Chinese poet many centuries ago noticed that to re-create something in words is like being alive twice. Hopefully, we can achieve that with this journal. Enjoy!!
