On the way back to Manta, Linda once again ran a police checkpoint. Someday I may get use to her doing that. Since she does not have a driver's licence or insurance she sees no point in stopping and getting into a long, fruitless discussion with the Policia officers. Her ace-in-the-hole is that Ecuador law states that once a person is over 65 they cannot be put in jail for any reason. The officers glance at her then ignore her, of course I am cringing and sliding down in the seat.
Just after the roadblock we stopped at a roadside produce stand where prices were embarrassingly cheap. A bag of 20 oranges is one dollar. One of our fellow passengers, Esther (Chinese-born, Canadian citizen, now living in Ecuador) bought a month's supply of produce. De Anne made 3 trips to the car helping Esther load it all.
