Thugs and Intimidation

I knew before I arrived in Ecuador that it would be difficult, that there were elements that I could not anticipate. I steeled myself for a battle. When it arrived I was able to take a stand.

Rather than type I thought I’d send you this video message recapping where everything is on May 26 at 9:00am Ecuador time. I’m also attaching photos and video of how I found the property - in complete disrepair! There have been creatures living in the ceilings of the houses, everything is rusted (could have been prevented by simply coating the railings), all the houses inside need paint, plumbing needs to be fixed, no water in the cistern, and dead trees everywhere. I could go on and on. That is all before we do a deep assessment.
