    The tail of the Galapagos shark, hope I will see these ALIVE when I'm there. by: pmok Views[253] First time I saw this shark at the market, we had to study it for a while before confirming it's a Galapagos shark, distinctive for its black tip fins and tail. by: pmok Views[287] A bar that also doubles as a funeral home, excellent! by: pmok Views[399] Fishes strung up to be sold, the string of red fish, 8 total, was sold for $5. by: pmok Views[819] Calamari 3-way: baked with potatoes, stir-fried with garlic, and stir-fried with black bean sauce. by: pmok Views[286]
     
    Sofia, volunteer from Portugal, with two calamaris. We cooked them three ways for lunch, muy rico! by: pmok Views[1025] Cut up bodies of several punta negras, black tip shark. Surprised the smaller fin in the back wasn't finned. by: pmok Views[941] Close-up of a ray's eyes, never realized the My attempt at corviche con queso. Grated the platanos not fine enough so they were very crunchy (not supposed to be). by: pmok Views[653] There was a 2-day fisherman's festival end of July. On the first day, all the boats were decorated and there was a regatta, where anyone could board the boats; they sailed from Puerto Lopez to Manchalilla, a nearby fishing port, and back. In the evening was a beauty pageant followed by a major fiesta of music and dancing. All the fishermen were so drunk, no boats went out for three days! by: pmok Views[257]

    Hasta la vista, Puerto Lopez!

    I'm not entirely surprised by how quickly 2 months flew by in Puerto Lopez, but it still takes me by surprise when time came for me to pack up.  One of the things I enjoyed the most about this project, besides the work itself, is living in Puerto Lopez.... Read more >

    Scuba diving isn't part of the "responsibilities" at my current volunteer project in Puerto Lopez, so I would need to book diving excursions on my own.  Luckily, the other two volunteers and the local coordinator, C, are all certified scuba ... Read more >

    After two weeks in Quito, I headed to Puerto Lopez where my volunteer project is located.  It was a 12-hour bus ride from Quito to Puerto Lopez; Maria woke up at 4:30 AM to cook breakfast for me so I could be collected at 5:30 AM.  She also gave me a ... Read more >

    Puerto Lopez...small, smelly and a bit fishy

    ECUADOR | Sun, 1 May 2011 | By moomazza | Views [1193]

    Despite getting a bus straight away from Guayaquil we arrived to Puerto Lopez in the dark.  The journey was only about 3 hours although we were on one of my craziest bus rides yet. For example, there was a blind guy walking up and down the bus for ... Read more >

    Ok, so it’s been a month – probably time we updated this blog. After Galapagos we spent about a week being beach bums on the coast of Ecuador, and getting in a bit of hammock-time. Puerto Lopez has hundreds of humpback whales which come ... Read more >
