In the past several months, the border crossing (from Colombia into Ecuador) at Rumichaca has been overcome by a swelling tide of immigrants from Venezuela. I honestly wonder how many people can be left in the country when we see how many are leaving daily. Often the lines at customs wrap completely around the outside of the building and more. I'm sure some of these folks spend the entire day at the border since they have to wait in line to stamp out of Colombia and then again to stamp into Ecuador. Then it's on to the bus terminal in Tulcán to wait in line for tickets and then transportation to either their final destination or the stopover point for the next leg of the journey. Fortunately, we don't have to go through customs when we cross the border. If we did, I think we'd have to request a redivision of field lines!
