We were Ecuador in 2010 and boy, did I forget the way people drive!!! No painted lanes and just chaos that everybody buys into so it works for them. As a passenger in a Taxi, one had to ignore all the craziness and near misses, horn honking and getting to know the folks in the car right next to you!!! Yikes!
Anyway, we had the day to ourselves and decided to check out what they call the "Santa Ana Hill". Note to self... PUT ON SUNSCREEN!... you will see why later on!
This hill is located in the northern part of the city. You climb 444 stairs (in 84 degree weather no less) and reach the top where there is a lighthouse and a small church at the top. As you can imagine, hundreds of years ago it was a fortress area to protect the city. Even managed to find a geocache at the top of the hill and so now we can say we have found one in the Southern Hemisphere!
Back to the sunscreen... The overcast skies were thinning and the sun was bright. My arms felt like they were frying! Jerry had his convertible pants on and had unzipped his lower leg panels and stowed them. He got them back out and I ended up weather them on my arms... I was definitely the most styling girl in the area...
Crazy guy climbing the flag pole to try to get the flag down... there was a knot impeding the normal movement of the rope.
See my crazy sleeves!
