Sunday, May 25
In the morning I walked down to the Malecon Saltado, another revamped waterfront area of Guayaquil. While not nearly as stunning or interesting as Malecon 2000, it is nice to see that the city is making an effort to improve itself. I walked through a small estuary/wetlands area and got some interesting photos of the fauna. Jessica, Jodi, and I then made our way to Las Peñas and climbed the 444 stairs (in the 100% humidity) to see the lighthouse and get treated to some great views of Guayaquil.
We spent the rest of the day buying snorkels and masks for our Galapagos trip, investigating bus options to get up to Baños (a little south of Quito), and browsing the street markets of La Bahía...where I bought a new hat, which I desperately needed to keep my mane out of my face, and a Barcelona (one of Guayaquil's futbol teams) jersey.
We will hopefully be meeting up with Jon and Lucy, who I met in Patagonia, tonight for dinner. They are supposed to arrive on a bus tonight and will be heading out to see the Galapagos on Tuesday.
