Emma, myself and Alfredo went for a walk on the Sunday after I arrived. Given that this is the rainy season we were lucky to have such a beautiful sunny day with a nice breeze. The plants, stone walls, and views are lovely. On the way down we stopped at a little tiny restaurant that overlooked the river. We had lunch for $1.50 a plate that consisted of rice (arroz), beans (menestra, not re-fried just delicious) and a grilled chicken breast (pollo). All very good and the beer was cold. Emma and Alfredo live in a very historic neighbourhood that has been re-done. We had a great walk (I have to admit I was a little out of breath) and just enjoyed the day together.

I arrived in Ecuador on Feb 24th, very late and tired but happy to see Emma and Alfredo who were waiting for me!!!! My first day Emma and I went for a walk around the neighbourhood and the Malecon. The malecon is a broad avenue on the riverfront designed for people to enjoy the sights, have some food, drinks and rest among the lush tropical plants while feeding the fish and ducks. In the next album I have pictures of the Malecon from on high so you can see how large it is. Emma & Alfredo live in a very historic neighbourhood. Just below the apartment is a lot of new development which I think the government is trying to attract businesses to the area along with tourists. This is the rainy season so the sky is cloudy and can pour rain very hard at any time. We had a great walk and then went back to the apartment to rest, relax and catch up.
