While staying at the Hotel San Jacinto the waitress spotted these dolphins making a pass by the outdoor restaurant one morning. First I must tell you that the breakfast served at this hotel was excellent eggs, toast – yes I said toast with butter and jam, fresh fruit juice different each morning and coffee con leche or you could order any of the Ecuadorian breakfast specialties. Back to the dolphins: How graceful and gentle these beautiful creatures were as they jumped and splashed by our breakfast table. How great is this place?
Here are a few more pictures of the courtyard at the hotel.

You got me curious….what is a typical Ecuadorian breakfast?
Hi Roberta, well you can have a fish breakfast with fried fish, rice, plantains. Bolon de Verde which is a big ball that is composed of green plantains it can have queso fresco (fresh cheese) inside or they serve a breakfast soup on the coast it is also made with fish….because there is so much fresh fish available cheap. Here is a link that may explain a bit more about the balon, http://ecuadorinside.net/2011/06/06/bolon-de-verde-%E2%80%93-best-ecuadorian-breakfast/ and I love Laylita’s recipes http://laylita.com/recipes/2008/06/16/biche-de-pescado-or-fish-soup/ I have used Laylita’s recipe for her Seco de Chivo (goat stew). She is authentic Ecuadorian! Thanks for your comment! Nancy
