  1. Since I am taking Spanish, I decided to ill two birds with one stone and learn a little more about El Salvador. Just like many other countries, both of our countries, El Salvador and Egypt, have warmer summers and cooler winters. Also our countries do not have many changes of seasons. Although Egypt and El Salvador are similar in these ways, El Salvador gets much more precipitation than Egypt. On average Egypt gets less than 10 inches of rainfall annually.
