The Ecuador situation is wild.
Peru first blocked the border to keep key cartel figures from escaping, and Colombia did too - an extremely rare move, since Colombia hasn't even done this level of blockade with Venezuela.
And the blockade is now so intense that foreigners need an apostilled 5-year criminal record check if they want to enter Ecuador for the next while. That is a huge hurdle - but these are wild times. Ecuador's in a serious internal war.
It's been a hard few years for so many.

😂 I'm somewhere between "ladle" and "jellyspoon" when we talk about grand titles, but today was okay! I put on my running outfit but didn't get to go out - I was helping my sister redesign her CV and cover letter as she enters a major career change. However, with that finished, I'm about to hop on the stationary bike for a *little* exercise before I run a volunteer meeting in a couple of hours. Then I can get back to novel revisions. :)
Hope you've had a lovely start yourself! 🤗
