My Take on Coastal Ecuador!

11 years ago

Everyone'sdifferent but her is my take on Coastal Ecuador:

I visited Ecuador last year for 3 months. I flew into Quito, its mountainous Capital, and stayed for 2 or 3 weeks; then, took a bus ride down to the Amazon Basin (took a boat ride on the Amazon River) and stayed for two days and one night; then, traveled to the Coast - Bahia de Caraquez; San Vicente; and Canoa where I stayed until I returned to Quito for two more weeks before my flight home.

My favorite place of all and where I want to retire: El Matal, a little fishing village, right on the most beautiful, blue, Pacific Bay you could ever lay your eyes on.

Its beach is lined with coconut palms, and it is just north of Canoa.

It is only about 45 minutes from the Southern border of Columbia, and you know what that means? Wink!

Guess what? The beaches of Ecuador are not that much different than those of Coastal Georgia, especially the beach on Cumberland Island.

But, in Canoa, the waves are much, much bigger than those of Coastal Georgia, and the water is not dirty; it is clean, and sandy, and "esperanza", sparkling, deep blue!

Canoa is touted as the surfing capital of EC, and its beach is packed with beautiful, young, suntanned, bikini-clad women with their surfboards tethered to their sweet, sexy, little ankles.

No....I didn't look at their broad, voluptuous, sexy, wiggling, womanly asses; just their sweet, little, pink-painted, toenail feet.

With "A Wink and a Devilish Smile", I am,
