So finally, after almost a year of living in El Salvador, we sold our beach. We had to put our beautiful paradise beach lot for sale in order for us to move to El Salvador and make a living there.
We loved our beach, and we were sad to let it go, but we had to sacrifice something, to start making a living in El Salvador.
We could have build a resort on our beach, which was our plan and make a living that way, which all of our family wanted us to do, but without any money, that was impossible, plus we have always wanted to get our own land to grow our own food and have animals, so here we are.
Sometimes you have to sacrifice something in order to get what you want.
We loved the beach life. So free, so relaxing and so beautiful. Surrounded by this gorgeous nature, with clean air, absolutely breathtaking sunsets and full moon night walks on the beach.
We have had made amazing memories here in our beach community, where we have met a lot of good friends, over so many years. This was really, our dream when we first moved here, to live on the beach and have a resort for everyone to enjoy this gorgeous beach, especially our family and friends, which some of them did.
Living on the beach with our boys for about 4-5 months (when we had our house) were the most memorable and most beautiful memories we have shared, and are forever grateful. They will never be forgotten.
The thing is that there are not many places in El Salvador where you can just go to the public beach and enjoy the beach, like in Canada or the US.
The only way you pretty much have the access to the beach is through a business, like a restaurant or resort, which you have to pay your way to it, plus those places are more busy, while our beach was all private and with not too many people around, which was amazing.
And that is why this beach meant so much to us, especially since this is where we started our new journey of our lives is El Salvador, since the first time we went there, in 2008.
But our plans have changed, and God has given us this opportunity to move on to other, bigger things in our life, which we are very grateful for.
One thing for sure, we really feel much safer in the mountains, than on the beach, and after we lost our first house on the beach, we were pretty scared to start building on the beach again, and I guess, that was the real reason, we didn't build on this beach property for all these years.
Like I said, we feel really blessed to had this beautiful opportunity to experience life on the beach and it's amazing nature, and now we get to experience life in the mountains, with also gorgeous nature.
Hope you enjoyed my little "Good bye beach" story.
Thank you for stopping by, and for your support. It's greatly appreciated.
Love @joalvarez❤
I am a great supporter of @familyprotection which is working very hard to help the families stay together and this project is the most
amazing project that I would suggest for everyone in this hive community to check it out and support it and by doing it we are helping people in need who are trying to keep their kids safe from being taken away (kidnapped) by the Social Services. Here is the link Click here

Dreams are like pets. When it's time, it's time. I've known people who've burned through thousands of dollars to keep a 12 year old cat alive another few months.
Keen to see how the new place works out :)
You are right. When it's time, it's time. Thanks for your visit, I will share our new farm in my next post.

I may be young, but I can already feel how hard it must be to let go of a place that holds so many beautiful memories.
Yes. It's very hard, but we need to look forward and build new memories.
I had the privilege to live by the beach for years so I can totally imagine how difficult it must have been to say goodbye to this lifestyle. But when one door closes, another one opens. Good luck with your new adventure! :)

Thank you @phortun.
It was very hard to leave this lifestyle, but now we can experience a different lifestyle, which we also dreamed of, which will keep us busy, and we can always go to the beach, when we want to, especially since El Salvador is so small, it takes about 1.5hrs to get there.

"Sometimes you have to sacrifice something in order to get what you want" a line that everyone can relate. We all have our sacrifices, little or big, and sometimes, we wish to not sacrifice a thing at all and not move on. I can see the bittersweet feeling in your words but for sure, God's plan has better ones. A goodbye to a beach...what a lovely time.
Yes. We all wish that we didn't have to sacrifice, but that's life, and when we choose not to sacrifice, I believe, you get stuck and can't move forward and we can miss the opportunities of a lifetime. Plus, God's plan is always better.
dude...you had a beach..let that sink in...
now I get it that you need something more sustainable that provides food, but wow...this much have been amazing. Too bad you couldn't turn it into a business
Yes. That's why it's so hard to let go. It's truly a dream, but like I said, we are so blessed to had the opportunity to experience this, and now we are blessed with another great opportunity, another dream.
Yes, we were thinking of all the options, to turn it into business, but it just didn't work.

It's truly hard for you to leave such a beautiful place. But it's a choice you must make. I hope you can also enjoy the beauty of nature in your new place. Although the atmosphere may be very different, thank you for sharing with us here :)
Thank you for your kind words @nasseir.
We look forward to making new memories and experiences in our new land, (which I will share in my next post) , even though it is a different atmosphere, but as long as it's surrounded by a beautiful nature, that's all it matters.
You're welcome.
Looking forward to your next post about nature in your new place :)

Una vez aprendí este consejo:
"Quién no se adapta al cambio cae en crisis".
Y eso es cierto. Siento tu tristeza por dejar este paradisíaco lugar. Pero, esa razón tan poderosa de un cambio por seguridad es muy comprensible.
Los recuerdos bonitos cumplen una función en la vida. Nos ayudan a crecer y nos consuelan en momentos difíciles.
Todo cambió con una actitud positiva es más llevadera.
Estoy segura que también tendrán muchos éxitos en esta nueva aventura.
Un abrazo inmenso para ti y los tuyos desde Venezuela 🇻🇪
