Hello family and friends, and welcome to our travel blog! It took us a while to get it set up, partially because we had so much to do before we left, but mainly because we couldn´t figure out a name. We finally settled on La Llave Grande, which means The Big Key. Beyond the many metaphors you could attach to keys, and the fact that this trip (our ¨entrance¨ into another part of the world) is a really big deal for us, we ultimately chose the name because on our first night here, the hotel gave us a key to the room attached to a key ring in the shape of...a huge key.
The ridiculousness of it went perfectly with our state of mind at the time.
So we have arrived, after many flights, in Guayaquil, Ecuador. It´s a huge, hot, bustling city, but we actually haven´t seen too much of it yet besides a few blocks and some dancing dollar bills:
We´ll let you know more once we check out the iguanas that are reportedly in a park nearby.

Get me one of those dancing dollar bills as a souvenir
Funny pictures....you should fight the money guys. That would be sweet. Make sure to videoblog that one.
I second Siwek on fighting the dollar bills. Hilarious.
Hey Brian I'm sure those photos you sent to me from photo booth would be a huge hit on this site. Just a suggestion. I'm in the library right now typing a paper on the effects of the Enlightenment on European mindset, so naturally i'm incredibly jealous that you guys are having fun. Enjoy....buy me something cool
Very cool! Hope you guys are having fun and be safe. Watch out for the cheese Brian- don't eat too much at one time :).
