Jose Salvador Alvarenga, a fisherman who says he drifted at sea for more than a year surviving on raw fish, turtles and bird blood, is embraced by his parents, Ricardo Orellana, right, and Maria Julia Alvarenga during a news conference in San Salvador, El Salvador, Tuesday, Feb. 18, 2014. Alvarenga, 37, underwent a battery of tests after returning home from the Marshall Islands, where he showed up after what he has described as 6,500-mile (10,500-kilometer) journey from Mexico that began when his small fishing boat was thrown off course by bad weather. Alvarenga said he wouldn't be returning to his hometown of Garita Palmera, but he did not say where he was headed. (AP Photo/Salvador Melendez)
