Landslide cuts major Quito highway to coast-
Heavy rains in the northern sierra have triggered landslides that have closed the main highway between Quito and coast. As of this morning, hundreds of vehicles are stranded as efforts to clear the Quito - Santo Domingo highway continue
According to Fabian Uzcátegui, Secretary of Infrastructure, another in three-day series of landslides covered part of the highway Tuesday night, dumping 5,000 more cubic meters onto the roadway.
Uzcátegui said that the landslides have caused a number of injuries, including eight in a bus struck by falling rocks on Monday.
Uzcátegui said that heavy equipment is on the scene and says the roadway is expected to be cleared by afternoon. “The problem is that the ground is saturated and the rain continues to fall,” he said. “It is very likely we will have more slides. All we can do is to keep working and hope for the best.”
A major concern for road crews are loose rocks that continue to drop onto the highway. “We have to consider the safety of our workers,” Uzcátegui said.
Late march to early May is a period of particularly heavy rainfall in the sierra, and a period of frequent landslides.: http://www.cuencahighlife.com/post/2014/03/25/Two-expat-couples-detained-in-the-US-for-tax-violations3b-Foreigners-help-push-symphony-attendence-numbers.aspx

Police Encounter…Stopped and Searched - by Donald Murray
Police Encounter…Stopped and Searched
My cell phone is in a leather
case, attached to a lanyard that I wear around my neck. I’ve carried my
phone like this for maybe five years. The original case was intended to
be worn on a belt so it has a strong metal clip on the backside of the
case. I keep my car and motor scooter documents in plastic cases clipped
into place behind my cell phone....read more: http://donaldmurrayecuador.com/police-encounter-stopped-and-searched/?fb_action_ids=10152316787180011&fb_action_types=og.likes&fb_source=aggregation&fb_aggregation_id=288381481237582

Event Horizon Chronicle: The Ayahuasca Totalitarian Dictatorship Visions
By Richard Sauder:
Event Horizon Chronicle: The Ayahuasca Totalitarian Dictatorship Visions: Back in late 2010, when I came to Ecuador to pursue a shamanic vision quest, I did not know what to expect. I still don't! I say that ...
Transparent As a Pane of Glass
To me the answer to all these questions is "yes". It's transparently obvious to me. The totalitarian dictatorship that ayahuasca
showed to me two years ago is being methodically set in place. It was a
clear vision, like looking at a computer monitor. Current events are
resembling more and more closely what I was shown. The USSA government
is irretrievably wicked. Its agents will kill people. That's what the
NDAA is all about. There won't be a trail of evidence or a trial.
They'll just eliminate people.
If you need an image to bring it into focus, look at this photo of DHS ICE special agents training for a national security "emergency." Does that not look ominous? Note that the American flag is conspicuously reversed. Get it?
As
for the threat of a major, international war, it is real, and growing
by the day. The USSA at present is clearly on a trajectory to a military
confrontation with Russia, China, Syria and Iran and maybe more. The
conflict may well go nuclear.
The threat of one or more spectacular, notorious "false flag" attacks to create a war panic is also very real.
My
advice to anyone who is inclined to leave the USSA is to leave just as
soon as you can feasibly manage it. Better to be a little bit early than
a little bit too late. When the doors are slammed shut and the Feds are
rounding people up, or using those 141,000 rounds of sniper ammo to
liquidate people on their "watch lists", it will be too late.
Sometimes God helps those who help themselves.

Rotary Club of Quito in Ilinizas
Dear Colleagues, I proudly share with you The north summit Illiniza we did with my son Roger Abraham 12 and other friends on Sunday 2 February, after almost 6 hours of climbing we reached 5130 meters to dominate a spectacular view from a narrow rocky summit with high cliffs. Tiredness, dizziness and ultimately difficult to describe satisfaction, the kind that will last a lifetime. Being up there you get questions like this: How nature can be gestated this summit with a magical array of perfectly placed rock on rock?. Hope you like the photos.
a hug

Retiring to Ecuador....Why not!: How did we move all our stuff?
Retiring to Ecuador....Why not!: How did we move all our stuff?: I know I've discussed this in various back posts but it was hit or miss.
I keep getting questions about how we moved all our stuff and thought
I'd put it all in one post.
At the Airport
Also, note that not everyone moves in suitcases like we did. Many folks
ship pallets or shipping containers full of their stuff. Each person
must make their own decisions about what is important to THEM. We had
made an exploratory trip so had a general idea about what to bring other
than clothes.
This is what flew with us on American Airlines, December 2013. We flew
business class which gave us THREE FREE bags each! We paid $150 for each
additional bag, thus our three extra bags cost us $450. Also, by flying
business class we had a weight allowance of 70# each bag!

purchased at Wal-Marts in our local area.. We initially thought we
could make it with only four but as we continued packing things, five it
was! We purchased luggage straps and put one on each one as well as a TSA approved lock with a flexible hasp. - ......Read more: http://www.retiredincuenca.com/2014/02/how-did-we-move-all-our-stuff.html
