Thanks for the kind offer, Allan 🙂 I’m sure I will be back in Ecuador again someday — I’ve got to get to the Galapagos! Glad you enjoyed exploring the US and I enjoyed reading your comparisons between Guayaquil and the cities you visited! I’ve never been to Pittsburgh, but I agree on Miami!

Miami is great!! =) but too expensive.. If you are trying to be back you will be very welcome, even if you’re searching for a ticket to Galápagos Islands.. was hillarious what Anders said at the art gallery.. haha… best wishes.. =)

Ha, I definitively enjoy that explanation! Didn’t experience any of the nightlife, but maybe when I return someday, hopefully, to get on a Galapagos cruise!

Iguana1: let’s go north! Iguana2: there’s people there, look at that house! Iguana1: South? Iguana2: Same I1: East? I3 and I4: we just came form there, freaking crowded, and look at those fellas’ coming from the west I1: well… shotgun on that branch. True story.

Guayaquil is not an easy city at all, but it has its gems. Next time (if it ever comes) try the cemetery, it’s pretty interesting and has beautiful sculptures. Foodwise, sorry you couldn’t find the great spots. From what I see, you only circled around downtown, there are more interesting spots on other nearby areas.

Nice photos though, you do make it look nicer that what it is. Any night life experience? You know, when the heat is lower

Cheers

Hey Rachel, I do that using photoshop and save the file as a .png instead of a .jpeg. It is a pain in the butt! And also it makes the files huge, which slows site loading time. My site redesign (which I REALLY hope to debut soon!) features a white background for this very reason!

When you have 2 photos side by side, how do you make the border connecting them “invisible”? I use piccassa and I have to choose a color background when I make a collage- which I hate doing!

The only way I’m ever going back is on a flight to Galapagos 🙂

The funny thing is when I was putting this post together, Anders said, “Guayaquil looks way nicer in these photos than it actually was.” And I agree! I almost feel like I’m lying by posting this because it is nowhere near this charming overall — this is the nice 1% of otherwise concrete blahness. And as someone commented on Twitter, “You managed to make even Guayaquil look good….”

Love your photos like always!
