The  crew and I have left for  Guayquil ,  we left  the tranquil  waters of Banos  at six in the morning , we traveled out from some of the most beautifull mountains , and scenery  I have  ever seen and made our way through the coast , finally after about seven hours  we made it tho Guayaquil * and  settled  into the Manso, a boutique hosteria, known for  its eclectic style as well as its  healthy menu and  historic  location. Mostly  I like the  coffee and the staff ,  every one is very friendly here  and  helpful, … they  were even kind enough  to reassure me that the  loud  pops  I kept hearing were not  gun shots  but rather  bottle rockets , and what I at first thought was a protest was in fact a  political  rally , In the middle  of the   street during rush hour ,   nice.
