messing around in GA

I'm still in the US for a little while longer. I was messing around on the internet today and found a photo I want to share with y'all. I haven't been able to get a good photo of a torogoz, the national bird of El Salvador, but I found a great one. It's such a pretty bird! Follow the link:

While we're at it, here's the izote, the national flower. I'm told you can eat them, but I've never tried one.

And Happy (belated) Independence Day to El Salvador and its neighbors! They celebrate Independence on September 15 (ES, Guatemala, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, and Honduras declared independence as one united country).
