It is a 5 hour bus ride south to Guayaquil, the largest city in Ecuador and the closest international airport to Bahia. Arriving in Guayaquil we checked into a nice hotel for 2 nights in the downtown area ($25/night) and set out on foot to do some exploring.

Even learning just 3 words a day by now we would have acquired the vocabulary of the average three-year-old (who has mastered about 1,000 words). Let's just say based on the number of Spanish words we currently know we can not even understand what a Spanish speaking three year old is even saying!

At the most basic level our needs are simple: Kent needs a reliable internet connection to feed his addiction and a place that sells cold beer, I need a safe (and preferably scenic) place to jog and a heladeria (ice cream store) - ironic, I know. Luckily our needs are met here plus we get so much more! Heather Wed, 18 Jun 2008 17:41:35 -0500 http://www.sailblogs.com/member/hiatus?xjMsgID=59766
