Guayaquil's Malaccan & iguanas

We arrived in Guayaquil late Saturday afternoon, got settled into our room and went for a walk in the Malaccan, it’s like a cross between a park and a boardwalk along the river.   There were boats cruising the river, children playing and all of Guayaquil celebrating Saturday night family style. 

It was only a short walk because of our late start but we went back today and found it a very pleasant place to stroll on a Sunday afternoon.   They Museum of Art and Anthropology

was one of our first stops.  We spent hours touring the galleries & found a group of young people practicing for a dance performance.  We finished our tour with the history of pottery throughout Ecuador over 10,000 years.

We stopped for lunch in a restaurant on the Malaccan overlooking the river and met some other Americans who told about a park near the Cathedral where iguanas hang out like pigeons looking for a handout.
