I know, it looks like it is beautiful. And, it is very, very beautiful to be honest. Three buildings surround this green space. We are the only residents in this compound. The grounds are open to view by any passersby, but at this time, those numbers are very low \u2013 just the occasional foreign surfer, or dog walker, or cyclists who feel the rules of social distancing doesn\u2019t apply to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like all foreigners here in Ecuador, my wife and I spend much of our time combing through governmental info from both Canada and Ecuador [yes, I can read Spanish] to make sure we know the official news. Many foreigners are not so discerning and some are being \u201ctaken to the cleaners\u201d so-to-speak as they book and pay for plane tickets for flights that don\u2019t exist. There are no short cuts nor guarantees that we will get a flight before Ecuador says \u201cNo!\u201d to incoming flights. If that happens, we will remain in Ecuador until regular flights return, likely some time in June if we are lucky.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I don\u2019t dare complain as we are safe here. The weather is perfect. We have more space than many who find themselves in our situation. And we have each other. The bonus, because of our location, the opportunity live more of my life outdoors while nude is possible. Naturally, I take advantage of that opportunity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This morning, the Prime Minister of Canada addressed Canadians with a crystal clear statement: \u201cEnough is enough. Go home and stay home.<\/em>\u201d The threat of invoking the War Measures Act to enforce his words was implied, an act that his father had invoked during the time of the FLQ crisis in Canada in the early 1970s when he was Prime Minister of Canada. The last thing PM Justin Trudeau wants for Canada is to become another Italy.  Here is a link to some recent responses to personal freedoms in Italy<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It appears that the president of Ecuador is not going to be far behind in doing what is necessary to enforce social distancing and social isolation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
