I'm here and this post does pique my interest. I hope your BIL is safely back here in the USA where petty crime is unheard-of.
I have been traveling to Ecuador regularly for over 40 years and have never felt unsafe, but I like to think that I am smart enough to avoid certain areas, no matter where I go in the world.
I have eaten cuy-stuffed ravioli. My favorite Ecuadorian dishes are Shrimp Ceviche, Puerco Hornado and Fanesca.
Today, the US Ambassador to Ecuador is Michael J. Fitzpatrick. I believe that Ecuador announced the expelling of the US ambassador back in 2011 when Rafael Correa was president. Correa, now living in Belgium, has since been sentenced in absentia to eight years in prison for bribery.
