    Gracie is irresistible. Quite the cutie. I made sure my partner, Barbara, caught sight of this as she has two dogs and their well-being plays a part in her consideration of Ecuador as a possible new home.

    Are guns heavily regulated in Ecuador? Can anyone purchase a gun? I've seen security guards in the condo I stay at have one.

    • @DonShader
      @DonShader  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Very much so. There are no gun stores and guns are prohibited without special permit.

      I couldn't stand to have one full time. I get too attached and when it's time for them to cross the rainbow bridge, I'm devastated. I do just fine taking care of someone else's.

    Thank you Don. Another stellar video. Price wise, is there a less expensive time to come for a visit to Ecuador or are hotels and taxis and such priced higher at different times than others?

    • @DonShader
      @DonShader  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yes of course. It's called the low season, which we are in now.

    • @wiggy5927
      @wiggy5927 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I came to Ecuador. . met with a doctor for $20. He gave me a 90 day prescription for one of my meds (Ambien) the other 3 required no prescription so I walked into Fybeca and got what I needed, Propanolol, Rosuvastatin and Levothyroxine. Piece of cake!

    • @RJMincey
      @RJMincey 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I think doctor's make a distinction between (1) speaking in general terms about which medications effectively duplicate the function of others and (2) actually prescribing such medication for a patient.
