Thank you Club Cocal for opening your doors to Chatoshi! The ample space, the greenery, which most of us enjoyed barefoot, the pool, the little skip it would take for us to jump into the sea—what a perfect place it was for us to be! The view of the ocean and the crashing waves were as much of a treat as the delicious kababs we sizzled on your grill. Club Cocal is such a versatile venue and suited for all types of weather and occasions—including rain with the covered space it has, what a blessing it was to be there! This time we were a crowd of Turkish, Salvadoran, American, Canadian, Scottish, German, French, Israeli and British Chatters. We were old, new and potentially future expats and immigrants. Questions were asked, answers were found. Except for the one about the purpose of life, that discussion will be going on and on, probably forever… :-D Sorry, not too many photos this time guys, don’t know why they didn’t turn out well and I missed so many of you. Will be more mindful next time!

A few days ago everything was very annoying! Everything was glitching-laptop, new software I’m trying to learn, a medical device we have, then obviously in tandem; my mood-glitch, glitch, glitch! Then I received a phone call from a friend. Last time we spoke, she was in a vortex of emotion because AI was a little too suited to replace her vocation, and thus her source of income, and things were not looking good. She was holding it together but it was understandably an effort to not be frazzled. That was a few weeks ago. In her update, she told me she’d since allowed herself a bit of the frazzle so it wouldn’t get stuck in her body, then rolled up her sleeves and trained herself on AI and is now teaching people how to incorporate AI into their lives as well. She’s already got a few clients and this pivot has blessed her brilliant mind with something novel and fun and given abundance another channel to make its way into her life. Then another phone call came from another ninja friend who really wanted to get into long fasting of late. She was asking me for a bone broth recipe as she’d been fasting for two days and wanted to break her fast in the best possible way! Then another friend came to mind. We’d been talking about a blemish she had on her face which didn’t look too healthy and we were discussing salving it using a very old herbal remedy native to Peru. We were going to catch up to exchange that tiny bit of salve but hadn’t managed. On remembering, I messaged her and asked how her suspicious looking blemish was. “I went to take a photo for you but I can’t see it anymore,” she said! Sometimes the universe has a way of making a glitch feel better by sending you stories like these when you need it. The glitches kept on happening throughout the day but no annoyance was able to get through due to the smile on my face. Good morning loves, hope you have a non-glitchy day and if you do, borrow the joys of others and ride them like a rodeo cowboy! Yeeeehaw! #GM #ElSalvador

This was great! You always give me a giggle and I always learn something new from your videos. A warm 'hola' from El Salvador! 🥰 ☀️

Beer for a Year! 🥳 What a freaking fantastic birthday gift, especially for a fellow bitcoiner! So this is how we roll here in #ElSalvador: It was our buddy David’s birthday last week. Our friends Dale and Dan put together a plan to finance his beer for a year using a smart contract with Dale’s project Smart Contract Giving (https://x.com/bc1q21). We all sent some bitcoin to an address and the total is now divided into 12 equal payments and will be automatically disbursed to David’s BTC wallet every month! What a freaking excellent idea! Bitcoiners, next time it’s a loved one’s birthday, wedding, graduation, anniversary or when you have a new grandkid, you know what to do! Think steaks, kombucha, massages or jujitsu classes every month for a year! Or just gift your future self some sats! Because why not? PS: I’m not affiliated or sponsored, just think it’s a super cool concept! Check their website: https://www.bc1q21.com/
