Ecuador (the coast south...)

A dead man on the coast of Ecuador
And us, a bit over-dressed perhaps
a relativelty desolate but beautiful coast
to the fishing_tourist town Puerto Lopez
Stopping enroute for a facial
in the sulphur pools of Aguas Blancas Natl Park
and a free after hours visit of Los Frailes
which wasn_t so special actually
the morning catch
Corvina, $2 per kilo
from which Rosa prepares an impressive ceviche
The hippie tourist dive of Montanita
gym class
Nice clock
Rosa & some famous Argentina comedy star
Suprise! The italians from Quilotoa

Rosa wrestles with waves to overcome her fear
little by little she is getting better
To Las Salinas
in search of the Chocolatero
the western most extreme of Ecuador


occupied by a military base

Me and Noboa
Welcome to Guayaquil
a relatively dirty city
but suprisingly with a quite interesting park
full of lounging lizards



and nutty squirrels
a historic clock tower
and a new Project 2000 malecon
impressively well gardened



Cerro Santa Ana
The Valparaiso of Ecuador
where they are working hard in restoration
to contribute to a new great Guayaquil around 180
an impressive project which should complete soon
up to the new faro
for a quality view over the city


they are really working hard to better this city
and make it tourism ready

Globetrotters from Atlanta, Georgia
put on an exhibition for the local kids stars


Local beauty queens

Me to the Galapagos and Rosa on a trip of her own
