    In a twist of fate, on our last day on the coast we had our worst weather thus far. Overcast, breezy and only 25 degrees. Yesterday a couple from Texas that we met on our real estate tour stopped by Montanita and we went for lunch. We went to a place with “Tikki” in it’s…

    Another relaxing day. We ate well and went for a nice wander up the beach after going for a swim. It was so nice just to meander on the beach at low tide. It is phenomenal what treasures are uncovered and covered up with each surge of the waves, Though I don’t know if I…

    Ok, so the most stressful part of my day today was waiting for this fellow to come out of his hole and be photographed. Our day, first breakfast, walk up beach, second breakfast, go swimming. Once we got that out of the way we walked into Montanita. It was more enjoyable than our last trip.…

    A good thing we were tired when we went to bed last night. Between the dogs and car alarms I thought I was part of some type of disturbed sleep study. All part of the experience, but certainly no extended stays in Guayaquil for us in the future. Our driver, Jorge, from Montanita picked us…

    We headed out again this morning at 9:00 in the bus. We had a couple of no shows where we were waiting outside the property but the person who was to supposed to open it did not show up. We checked half a dozen properties in a Town called Ballenita. I am sure it has…
