Manta, Ecuador

We docked in Manta very early in the morning.  Their main industry is tuna and supply both Bumble Bee and Starkist.  About 80 passengers left the ship to go to Machu Picchu.

Four of us took a shuttle into town and along the way we made a few stops.  Manta is also where the Panama Hat was born.   We did check out the hats and saw many of various shapes & sizes.  We also watched as two boats unloaded their tuna on the same dock across from our ship.  Got some good pictures.
