After volunteering at Río Muchacho organic farm in Canoa, we spent some time on the beach before heading back to Quito. It's a great time of year to visit the beach! We first stayed in Olón, which is a quiet beach town very close to Montañita. We ate ceviche, patacones, thai food, and passion fruit. My favorite part was sipping coconut juice straight from the coconut! Mike took a surfing lesson at sunset in Montañita. He did a great job and got up on his first try! Check out the video. After Olón, we went to Puerto López since my favorite beach, Los Frailes, is right next door. What a beautiful beach and an amazing sunny day! This beach is the top left photo below. We swam and sun-bathed all day, and later realized we were sunburnt and looked like lobsters! Yikes! Then we took the 10-hour night bus back to Quito. We had one more day left in the city before heading to Lima, Peru, which is where we're at now awaiting our flight to Cusco! 
What is cuter than a little girl with her kitten?!
We met an awesome couple from Holland and spent a lot of time with them. They cracked us up! We were walking down the street in Olón, and after we passed this house, Jens said, "Hey, why are they cooking that kid?!" They said they learned English from TV!
