Presidential Elections

The Presidential Elections for El Salvador are this Sunday, the 18th. What does this mean for me? No Sunday English classes! Yea!

There are two parties with candidates for this election, the FMLN (Communists) and ARENA (Capitalists). According to the Sister´s, both are terrible, but ARENA is better because it isn´t Communist. The lesser of two evils.

With the elections so close, the ferver is rising and there has been a bit of violence between the parties. One that made the news a few nights ago was when the FMLN attacked the ARENA bus while it was driving somewhere. No one was hurt, but they smashed the windows and one person left a knife on the floor of the bus when they left. Yeah, I think I´ll stay out of politics here and just stay inside the school until the elections are over. Except for Mass of course.
