Vamos a La Playa :)

On Friday, August 24th, I went to La Playa Almendro with a group of 8 friends. Four were Ecuatorianos and 4 were Americans. We stayed in a resort/hotel/apartment place that had 2 bedrooms with lots of bunk beds. All of the palm trees there looked like this! Here is a picture of our pool.

It was cool to go to the beach because the environment there is totally different from our industrial city of Quito. The beach is about a 4 or 5 hour car drive and it's a 9 hour bus ride. Thankfully we have Ecuadorian friends with cars! I was so happy to be able to wear shorts at the beach because no one wears shorts in Quito. Ecuador is usually a pretty conservative and Catholic country so people do not wear revealing clothing. 

Here is a picture of our group in our place at dinnertime:

and here is LA PLAYA :)
