We are in Guayaquil for the English District Convention. This has been our primary goal in getting to Ecuador this month. And it is finally here. We arrived yesterday morning after a hour and a half drive from Cotacachi to Quito and a 55 minute flight to Guayaquil. We got checked in at the Hotel Malecon Inn which is located on the Malecon, the restored river walk area. When we arrived yesterday most of the area was closed off for an annual celebration of the founding of Guayaquil. The hotel staff had to walk about 4 blocks to meet us to walk us to the hotel. They have been very helpful.
We had a tour of the Branch office scheduled in the afternoon, so after a quick bite to eat we took the taxi to the Branch and took our tour. What a beautiful location about 23km outside of the city.
