ECUADOR!
July 9 - 27, 2003
The Ecuadorian Coast.
After the family reunion, Rachel and Phil flew in to Quito. We quickly took off for the Ecuadorian coastline. First we visited Same, where we went whalewatching. Then we went south to Bahia, where we had some of the best seafood I've ever tasted in my life. After that we went further south to Manta, and stayed right on the beach in a very nice hotel called Hotel Costa del Sol. From Manta we went to Machalilla and visited the onsite museum at Agua Blanca. The batteries on my camera went dead at Agua Blanca, just after I took a picture of the outside of the museum, so sadly I don't have pictures of the tour of the grounds that they took us on. When Rachel gets her film developed then we should have some pictures of the ancient grounds.
Whales!

Seeing the Whales was truly one of the hightlights of the trip for all of us. Thank you Constanza!
