anyone ever been to ecuador? gonna go kick it there for a month this summer. sounds dope.
Stayed in Quito a few days before\after going to the Galapagos. There is a ton of cool history things, Independence Square, El Panecillo, and the Basilica if that is your thing. There is a tour thing you can do to stand on both sides of the equator at the same time, and see some crazy science stuff that happens at the equator. My favorite was just the food. Great food everywhere, and the market is super cheap.
we are planning on flying into guayaquil and checking that place out for a couple of days before heading to the beach house in the montanita/olon area. going to take weekend trips around the country to hit a couple of other spots, tho. planning on going to cuenca, quito, and then checking out the rainforest.
all of that sounded great, but yesterday looked on the US embassy website and they were pretty much like "don't go to ecuador unless ur a stupid idiot b/c 'rona," so all of this may go out the window.
