We flew to Quito for the wedding, and spent two and a half days in the general area. The morning after the wedding we flew to the Galápagos, and returned a week later to Guayaquil.
The Quito Area
The night we arrived in Quito, Ecuador's capital at the base of the Andes, we went to a party with many of Maria's relatives. The next day we visited a monument at the equator, and saw a few sights of colonial Quito. More pictures...
The Wedding
The wedding itself the following day was a two and a half hour bus trip from Quito. It took place at Hacienda Pinsaqui, a lovely little ranch just outside Otavalo, a town renowned for its local crafts market, which we didn't have a chance to visit. More pictures...
Wedding Guests
Here are various shots of wedding guests, probably a third of whom are Rob and Maria's friends from the US; the rest are Maria's extended Ecuadorian family. More pictures...
Guayaquil
On the way back from the Galápagos we spent a day and a half in Guayaquil, Ecuador's largest city. It's a large seaport which traditionally hasn't had a lot of tourism. More pictures...
