Day 7 - Jet Skis and Sun

The rule to sunscreen here is: apply, and reapply. I learned this the hard way today. I greased up in the morning, before we went in the water. We drove to a public beach in a nearby town. After swimming for a while, a few of us rented jet skis. This turned into one of the most exciting experiences of the trip, and it was totally worth it. Lucky for us, we all made it back to shore with no harm.

Later, we went to lunch at a hotel where Marco's sister works. (Marco is the very witty ESPOL professor who joined us on this excursion.) The food was my first taste of real Ecuadorian cuisine, and it was delicious. We had seviche, which is a cool seafood stew with shrimp, fish, octopus, and lots of vegetables.

We spent the afternoon touring a few beach towns, and I spent the night regretting my sunburn. I better go apply some more aloe...
