Guayaquil, Ecuador

Apr 2008

Having gone 8 months without traveling abroad, I got to tag along with Mayra.

Guayaquil sits on the Guayas River

Grain silos converted to riverfront condominiums

Enjoyable evening strolls with ocean breeze, crashing waves and no mozzies.

Enjoying the sun at Chipipe beach

Overlooking the Pacific Ocean

With a private crystal clean (heated) pool and shade by the hotel next door

Fresh coconut juice, ceviche, and Naturissimo banana frozen yogurt

Quayaquil is Ecuador's biggest city

Have you ever seen a flight attendant call button in the silhouette of a lady?
