July 2007 - Although filming and photography are not permitted within the Museum of the Salvadoran Revolution itself, once we stepped outside the building, we were able to record our chat with our tour guide. A former guerrilla rebel -- as are the other museum guides -- he talked with us in Spanish about his participation from age 16 onward. He also shows an unexploded (but now disarmed) U.S.-made bomb and the crater made by a similar bomb. The same day, I found out that Cantón La Laguna, an area in Morazán that I've visited many times, was originally named for a lagoon that later dried up when a bomb like this was dropped on it during the Salvadoran Civil War. In the background, you can hear the rain from the lingering rainy-season afternoon storm.
