Field Trip to the South, Salinas, on the beach and home of some special Hummers that live on nearby cliffs.
About 150 km south of Guayaquil, very popular beach area for both locals and tourists.
Meeting at 8 am does not mean 8 am, seems to mean not before. We waited quite a while for our 8am guide to arrive. At least the lobby was nice.
A long 90 minute drive that took 3 hours plus. A tour through the salt marshes and to a large flock of Peruvian pelicans. Migratory. Anna works at the salt reserve, a reserve for birds as well as a commercial salt venture. Finally got a clear understanding of the production process.
Got to put my feet into the pacific ocean here and then refresh with tomato arbol as a juice. An interesting fruit drink. Numerous coastal photos. Sea lions here have thick black guy.
Farallón dillion for lunch. Seaside restaurant with an interesting story. Cervice and ahí,a very piquente sauce,juice of salsa is mild but the chilles …..
Off to our residence for the night. Will be forever memorable. Two sisters bought property in a remote, 10 kms inland on a road that required fording two streams and discussions about getting through to the place with just a 2 by 4. No cell, no electrify until some at night by generator, no refrigerator, set in 100 hectares, they just bought it six months ago, plan to run a remote glamping and experience hotel, farm the land with a tenant on the property.
