Uncle Gordon....Artic Circle to the Equator (Who needs Mexico when you have Ecuador)

Gordon sure didn't waste any time in looking for a new squeeze.  Although something smells a little fishy here.  5 years ago, Gordon and Richard visited us in Colombia.  This time he's on his own for a little decompression time in Ecuador.  We drove down to Pedernales after school.  Got there are 9pm.  Next day we checked out a few places.  This being very cool and reasonably priced http://www.puntaprieta.com/   But we ended up here, upon the recommendation of Don and Deb  http://www.hotelbambuecuador.com/  Ramon and I drove back Sunday at 2pm....home by 7:30.

First catch of the day.....catfish.

....and my big catch....(.I thought something was a little fishy here?)

......that's better.......tuna

Stogie and a beach walk.

"You are passing the equator"   A big deal in Quito, but apparently not of the coast.  Had to pull the bushes away to see the darn thing.

Gordon thinking of trading up.....

This bow sticks out of a cliff.  Human body with a Ram's head....name of the boat?  Poseidon

Gordon trying to outdo Ramon....(sorry Don)

....just add water

Hard work....this boat hit one of the big waves going out and really got launched into the air!
There is a tractor for the big ones. 
Surfer dudes....

....more fish and rice dad?

No shortage of single ladies here...

Or here.....there might be plenty of fish, but somewhat elusive catch.


Ramon's one boogie board ride....he'd rather just jump in the waves.


....or pull it along the beach front road in Canoa

Frisbee time

Plenty of space out here
