Join me for another episode of Breakfast with Don from my ocean-view balcony in Manta, Ecuador. Today’s breakfast may have started with only one lonely egg, but the conversation turned serious: buying a used car in Ecuador, checking for tickets, dealing with notaries, driver’s license concerns, and why expats need to slow down before handing over money.

This is real-life Ecuador talk from the balcony — part humor, part cautionary tale, and part practical advice for anyone thinking about retiring, moving, or buying a vehicle here.
