Mom told me a friend is having a wedding at a swank location in El Salvador. She sent an youtube and wrote<\/p>\n
This is where the daughter of Clara Maria Salazar Lemus despite Marshall will have her reception in El Salvador. It is glorious. I recall visiting a Turkish American civil engineer and his family in a spot similar to this. His name was Orhan Ilgaz and he had a very fat daughter. He had wanted to purchase on the coast but such negotiations were available only to Salvadoran nationals. Mary Beth and Lucia may remember this. Natalie <\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Of course I remember. The place was amazing then, though not yet swanky. I suspect people only recognized how great the area was because of what Mr. Ilgaz built for his kids.<\/p>\n
The video mom sent highlighted the swanky new hotels. But I wanted to find one that focused on what Mr. Ilgaz created in the 60s. Before minute 1:07 in the video you’ll see all swankyness. But around minute 1:07 you’ll see two people standing at the top of a stairway, then you’ll see a walkway down to a pool Mr. Ilgaz blasted out of the rock to create a “beach area” for his kids. Evidently, the laws wouldn’t permit him to buy on sandy beach. But I guess he could buy this supposedly “unattractive” area. Well… not unattractive to a civil engineer who knew how to blast rock!<\/p>\n
