OK, as promised, here are the processed Day 2 photos for Montanita and Puerto Lopez, which includes the whale-watching.
I apologize that Google seems to insist on using their own order for my photos... Ugh!
You can read the original Blog and view the unprocessed photos here:
I hope you enjoy the photos. That was the day's
excitement, Cheers,
