Enjoying a Cappuccino while Frank Haggles with a Souvenir Vendor in Montanita Ecuador

We're enjoying some relaxation in a neat cafe in Montanita. The coffee is great by the way. Can you tell Frank is really enjoying himself as he negotiates with the vendor?

Would You Pay $20 for a 20-Minute Car Ride on the Ecuadorian Coast? That's What Some Drivers Are Gouging Gringos For!

Would you pay $20 for a 20-minute car ride? All it takes is one gringo to pay it and it starts the gouging for the rest of the folks. Wow! Gringo gouging is worse along the coast, especially some of these smaller coastal towns and villages. I'm wondering why someone would pay that instead of taking the bus the same distance for $1.
