Day 21 - Puerto Lopez


 Today was spent lounging on the beach. I got a nice tan, but by tan, I mean that my legs look considerably similar to a distant relative of the lobster.
Some of us wrote messages to significant others in the sand (pictured above). Good to see the distance can’t stop true love!

The city held a parade, complete with marching band, in the afternoon to celebrate the migration of the whales along Puerto Lopez’s Coast. The sister of President Correa resided over the ceremonies.
Some of the floats were pretty elaborate:
But my favorite was the school of kids dressed up as squids… or octapi? It was hard to tell.






We wrapped up today with another view of the sunset. Enjoy!
