It has been raining a lot in Ecuador. Watching the facebook group and the weather reports have not been reassuring for travel to sunny beaches. A couple of days ago I decided I was going to the cheap store to buy an umbrella. Well, it cost three dollars and will be good enough.
I also had one of those very cheap rain ponchos that I paid a couple of dollars for during a rainstorm in Quebec City. The large red maple leaf on the front and back should make me a good target for those that feel the need.
