If you had a a couple of hundred thousand dollars to invest in a small business what would you invest in?

If you had ever been to Mindo, Ecuador you would know the answer right off the top of your head. Mindo is a world wide major tourist destination but there is not a decent place to eat in town. It must have 30 different hostels. If I had the gumpsion, which I do not, I would open a decent restaurant there. Things are not expensive in Ecuador. About 1/4 the price of things in the U S, but U S dollars is the national currency. There are opportunities in Ecuador beyond belief to make money from the tourist trade.

I was in Ecuador for 6 weeks. I and the friend I traveled with both agreed Mindo had by far the worst eating establishments. But I have to tell you that there is not a real great choice anywhere else either. Just try to get breakfast before 9 am. Almost impossible. Before 8 am it is impossible.
