Ok, so after reading up on Suchitoto and GPS today I was reading about La Palma and here's what strikes me.

La Palma, El Salvador

First, you can be sure that our time in La Palma will include some time studying the artisans working in the style of Fernando Llort the local painter who provided the style that now employs 75% of the town's people.

It's probably safe to say that we'll head to El Pital at some point. At 2,730meters (almost 9,000 feet) it should provide some good views and photos and a nice day hike in that area - which is slightly closer to the border in distance (12KM) but much closer in time (1 hour). That must be a nasty road!

Aside from the art and views, it's not clear what other sights exist in La Palma so our trip there will be from Sunday until we see we are bored and want to move on. It's possible that on arrival we'll take stock of town and perhaps try to quickly decide on our day of departure towards El Pital and Gracias. Reading about the Hostal Miramundo near El Pital located high on a mountain ridge makes me think that spending a night there might be nice though it seems a little pricey ($35) but I believe that covers rental of the entire space which sleeps 6 so we'd either have to find some friends to share or just enjoy having the place to ourselves.

So, that seems like all of the details for La Palma. From La Palma (or San Ignacio if we decide to move there when we hike El Pital) we are headed to Gracias and the Ruinas Copan.
