I got going at 11 after some long goodbyes. No traffic to speak of on the coast road but lots of climbing for the first 35k. Hot. At the Acajutla/Sonsonate junction the road turned into a 4 lane divided highway with lots of trucks. Acajutla must be a good-sized port. In Sonsonate I couldn’t find much in the way of hotels, other than a couple that looked expensive. Kept going until I found a love motel that had decent roooms with A/C for 13 dollars a night. I made sure to ask if it was for the whole night, not just 4 hours or something like that. I spent a half hour shooting the breeze with the two guys working there, then took a shower and rode the bike back down towards the city to get dinner and a pineapple milkshake.
