Today we had a chance to walk around town and explore. After breakfast our first stop was the grocery store to buy food for lunch at the convention. We met some new friends at breakfast that are also here for the convention. They knew where the grocery store was so we joined them for the walk. We stopped at a fountain to snap a quick picture.
After our grocery store adventure we went to a park a couple blocks from the hotel. It's known as Iguana Park. Check out the pictures and you'll see why. No zoom needed on the camera.
Then we ate lunch at.......KFC! We had heard it is much better here than in the states so we gave it a try. Everyone was right, it was delicious. Then we walked along the Malecon. It's a really nice area along the Guayas river. There are lots of trees, fountains, statues, and stores.
Weather today was typical of Guayaquil......86 degrees and lots of sun. In the shade it was breezy and very comfortable. We are looking forward to the convention tomorrow. We'll let you know about it in a few days.
The KFC is better because it is really KFI (Kentucky Fried Iguana). Yum!
