Back from another beach weekend here in Ecuador!
I've always loved the beach, but I've never loved it quite as much as I love it here. I think it's the style of life at the beach here -- so incredibly chill, it's hard to describe. The friends we made in Canoa this weekend spent their days doing the following: waking up to an incredible view, doing some chores around the hostel (they worked there), heading out to catch some waves, watching the bar, eating some empanadas, surfing some more, hanging out the cool gringos (us), getting some ceviche for dinner, then partying/bartending all night long. What a life.
Canoa was agreed upon as our favorite beach (followed very closely by Montañita) simply because of the people we met. We ended up purely by chance at a great hostel that had just opened (actually hadn't even opened yet, but they made do), owned by a 60+ American named Len from Kentucky and operated by some pretty awesome Ecuadorians. We were their first guests, so they loved having us. On Sunday, we even lucked out on some free surf lessons! It was an incredible weekend, and last night, none of us wanted to board that bus back to cold, rainy Quito. But we'll be back soon enough!
