Ecuador is the land of the hat. Everyone has one here, most especially the women. Green, brown or black felt ones with a feather in the side; white felt bowler hats - essential for daily wear to identify your tribe. Then of course there is the Panama hat - Ecuador's most famous export and possibly the most famous hat of all, yet weirdly, irreparably credited to Panama. What do you do?
