Lessons Learned
Well here we are in Guayaquil, Ec. It didn't take long to start learning lessons. Therefore I decided to do a post on lessons I (we) learn along the way.
Lesson #1 - Watch the sidewalks. They are very bumpy and when getting out of a cab or crossing the street there is often a 8-12" drop off into a gutter. I know...i found one the first time I got out of a cab. It was night and down I went. It looks as though over time they just keep adding pavement until it is that far above where the original curb and street. Unusual.

Traveling to Ecuador - WHY?
The time is fast approaching for our three week trip to Ecuador. This blog will identify our adventures there. But first, let me explain WHY Ecuador?
We have definitely been asked that by our friends and family. There are many reasons, but one is for fun. Ecuador is known for its eternal spring weather, welcoming people and vast ecosystem. Within a few hours you can travel from open beaches to the Andes mountains to the Amazon jungle. Don't forget that the Galapagos Islands are also part of Ecuador where some critters can only be found. Ecuador is also known for its vast array of wildlife, fresh fruits and vegetables and beautiful flowers. There are wonderful marketplaces full of indigenous crafts and Colonial cities with amazing architecture. Ecuador is a place that you can take a break and breath fresh air, scuba dive, fish, ride horses, climb mountains, river raft and so much more. So I say, why NOT Ecuador?
