With a population of just over 1/4 million people, Manta, Ecuador, turned out to be a good place for quite a few passengers to go looking for things we had realized in the past week and a half we forgot to bring with us, or simply wished we had.
There is a good size mall near the port, which offered the opportunity to shop, and to see a bit of what the locals buy. It was also a reminder that the currency is Ecuador is the United States Dollar.
Do you know why the United States Dollar is the currency in Ecuador? When Ecuador started using the Dollar? What their currency was called before they started using the Dollar? Flat Hal was surprised by some of the answers he and Flat Stanley found when they decided to spend some time learning tonight.
