Semi Lockdown Canoa- March16 to 24th

On March 17th the Ecuadorian Govt made the right decision to close it's borders....incoming flights prohibited....and as the next few days passed....driving restricted to alternate days depending on the 1st digit on your plate (license)......then further travel outside of your province required government authorization with a form to be presented to any officer stopping you. Hotels/hostels/restaurants & bars ordered closed and of course the new buzz word Social Distancing encouraged.

Ecuador is divided into 24 provinces..Canoa is in Manabi Pr. ...so I believe I can move around this one during certain hours which currently are from 5am to 7pm ...(thereafter a curfew) but only on M, W, F, and Sunday for me......I have yet to test it.

     Depending on whether I take the northern route to Quito...I pass through 3 provinces...south 4. and could encounter road blocks in any of the cities or villages in between.......so best to wait this out as I am in a good place.

Will post a few pictures of the beach......at sunset and others

 Letty and Sophia fed me the other night

early morning not a creature is stirring


 deserted
