SciFi discussion group meets Thursday

The next meeting of the Cuenca SciFi and Fantasy Discussion Group will be:

• Date: this coming Thursday, May 2nd
• Time: noon
• Place: Golden Prague Pub

The book for this month is:

• Dark Matter, by Blake Crouch

The story of a man who is kidnapped and wakes to find that he’s not married to the woman he remembers making his life with, his son does not exist, and the world around him is just subtly wrong. Built around the Many-Worlds Interpretation of quantum mechanics (but in a way that’s accessible to a layman reader), the book is a NY Times bestseller and is being adapted into a TV series on Apple TV, debuting in May.

For anyone who hasn’t been to the Golden Prague Pub, you can find it under that name in Google Maps. It’s directly across the street from the Supermaxi El Vergel, 2 blocks south of Parque de la Madre on Alfonso Cordero. The place opens at noon — if you get there early, the gates will be closed, but the Supermaxi has a couple of benches outside on the upper level.

Anyone who finds themselves available and wants to show up is welcome. (It’s not at all required to have read the monthly book first, but be warned that its discussion will likely involve spoilers.) This is intended to be a general geek-interest reading/discussion group. Subjects could involve scifi/fantasy fiction and movies, anime, science and tech, gaming, the book-of-the-month reading, and so forth. Friendly arguments — such as whether the Many-World Interpretation is reasonable or absurdist, angels-on-the-head-of-a-pin hogwash, and whether or not every alternate reality story, like say Bridgerton, qualifies as science fiction — are entirely likely.

If you have any questions, feel free to post them below and I’ll keep an eye on this space to answer them.

Saturday Language Exchange at ¡Vamos!

We kindly invite you to join our language exchange group Spanish-English/English-Spanish. The sessions are aimed at people willing to improve their conversational skills, putting them into practice in a realistic environment and with native speakers.

The sessions are guided by a bilingual facilitator (a teacher with extensive experience in the field) who proposes the activities and conversation topics.

It involves several people whose native language is English and several people whose native language is Spanish. We get together so that the former can practice Spanish and the later can practice English. If your native language is not English but you are still willing to learn Spanish, don´t worry! You are still welcome to come.

Apart from the language learning, the sessions bring an excellent opportunity to meet and interrelate with local people while engaging into the city’s cultural activities.

Therefore, this language exchange complements formal language learning. It mainly serves for putting oral language skills into practice. Additionally, it constitutes a good opportunity to experience and gain an insight into aspects of Ecuadorian culture and Cuenca local life.

Where? ¡Vamos! Spanish School, Calle Larga 11-43 (across from Mercado 10 de Agosto), Cuenca, Ecuador.

When? Saturday, April 27, from 11 AM to 12:30 PM

Hike to Chorro Blanco Waterfall

Join us for another Cultural Road Trip with CCC Spanish! This month, we will enjoy Ecuador’s natural wonders with a hike to the breathtaking Chorro Blanco waterfall in Bulán.

Start your day with a scenic hike that begins in the orchard where you can gather fresh apples for the journey to Chorro Blanco. The trail winds through the Andes, showcasing stunning waterfalls along the way, before reaching the awe-inspiring 30-meter drop of Chorro Blanco. Keep your eyes peeled for orchids, birds, and maybe even some wild critters!

This 4+ hour hike (round trip) is on uneven terrain and reaches an elevation of 3100 m. It is moderate to strenuous, so you do need to be in sufficient physical shape to make the trek.

After relaxing at the falls, refuel with a delicious buffet lunch!

The adventure kicks off on May 11 at 7:30 AM, returning early evening.

The entire trip is only $60 and includes guides, apple picking, lunch, snacks, and transportation.

Spaces are limited to keep the experience intimate, so secure your spot soon by sending us an email.

Don’t miss out on this unforgettable journey!

You are invited ~ Come as you are

At Trinity Church we are committed to learning the truth from the word of God. Because of that commitment, we have grown individually, as families, and as a community.

Over the past 5 years, our commitment to learning the truth has caused our Sunday morning attendance to reach capacity in our auditorium.

To make room for more people, we offer two services on Sunday morning. Our first service starts promptly at 9 AM. Our second service starts at 11 AM. One church, two services.

Children’s church for newborn to 12 years old will only be offered during our first service. Coffee and time to hang out and meet new friends is between services 10:30 until 11 AM. Free English classes are offered at 11 AM.

At Trinity Church, God is building His church with people of all ages, from newborns to those well into their 80s, people from many different cultures, countries, and backgrounds. Gringos and Latinos come together as one family, to build strong relationships, serve each other, and serve our community. The way Jesus wants His church to be.

Come and see what God is doing in our city through Trinity Church.

We are located on Ordonez Lasso in the River Side building (same building as Banco Pichincha next door to Home Vega). We are on the first floor.

Paws With Hope Dog Rescue, needs your help!

Dear Cuenca Friends,

For over 6 years Paws with Hope of Cuenca has rescued over 60 dogs and a good number of cats. Luckily most of these rescues have found forever homes or lived out their days at Paws with Hope. Paws with Hope is currently home to 10 dogs and 1 cat. Many of these current fur members have been at Paws with Hope for a very long time and have not been adopted.

Paws with Hope is a one-woman team, she is also a single mother to 2 toddler boys. Due to not having enough financial and emotional support for her and her kids here, she is leaving the country, and the remaining animals have no place to go.

She is committed to them and found a property that will allow the rescues to come too! Unfortunately getting all the animals across the border comes at a hefty cost. Each animal will cost about $428. This includes their transportation and vetting. They are being transported by Nestor, who is well known in the Cuenca community. Any help is very much appreciated. She has set up a GoFundMe page, hoping to get help and support for the move. Here is the link:

Free yourself from fear, anxiety and trauma in 2024

Start your 2024 with a cleaner, clearer subconscious mind–the part of the mind that is responsible for 90% of what you think, feel, and react to.

There is no need to suffer anymore! This is a quick, painless process during which you are awake and aware and in control.

Ever wonder why your actions don’t match your conscious beliefs and goals? That’s because the subconscious mind is 90% in control, and you are unconscious of exactly what beliefs it contains. These beliefs, manifested as energy blocks, can be cleared very quickly and easily.

Everyone these days is very highly programmed, stemming from early childhood, adult traumas, society, and even the media. With Subconscious Clearing, you can install the default beliefs that you choose, helping you manifest the life that you choose.

During this process, you are 100% conscious, and 100% in control, and we work together to help you achieve your goals. It’s safe, fast, and effective. And often life-changing. $40 for a 90-minute session.

What’s holding you back?

Hemp hearts!

Dear friends,

At Gramm Bulkshop we have hemp hearts! We share with you some information about it:

Protein
Hemp hearts contain almost as much protein as soybeans. In every 30 grams (g) of seeds, or about 3 tablespoons, there are 9.46 g of protein.

These seeds are a complete source of protein, meaning that they provide all nine essential amino acids.

Amino acids are the building blocks for all proteins. The body cannot produce nine of these acids, so a person must absorb them through the diet.

Minerals and vitamins
Hemp hearts contain an impressive array of vitamins and minerals and are especially rich in: vitamin E, magnesium, phosphorous, potassium. They are also a good source of iron, zinc, and B vitamins, including: niacin,
riboflavin, thiamine, vitamin B 6, folate

Mother’s Day and cold weather are upon us – Emilio

Mother’s Day will soon be here. If you have a special gift you would like to present to your loved one (mother, wife, daughter, etc), this would be the ideal time to contact us to plan and construct it. We love projects!

Cold weather is just around the corner. It is time to fix those drafty windows and doors. Curtains can help and we can install the hardware and help you hang them. Or, we can winterize the windows with weather strip. It can make a huge difference!

Are you finding difficulty using the bathroom? We can assess your situation and assist you. A lower entrance to your shower, grab bars in the shower and in front of or beside the toilet or sink might help. Let us take a look and make the corrections you need.

Three day weekends are for trips – Emilio, driver

Wow – in May we have two three day weekends – May 3 and May 24 are Friday “no-work” days. Banks will be closed, some businesses will also close those Fridays. It is a great time to plan a three day get-away. Not to mention, you might want to go out to the countryside to celebrate Mother’s Day. Contact me for getaway ideas: Waterfalls that are now spectacular after these rains, just going into the countryside for fresh air. It is all possible when you book in advance…

I will do my best to serve you, even during blackout periods. If you need something, call me. These are difficult days, and we pray the situation will be resolved quickly.

What do you want when you hire a driver to take you into the Amazon or beyond, around the city, down to Guayaquil, or up to Quito?

Do you want a driver who knows the roads and can get you safely to your destination? After all, it can take extra time to get to your destination. You don’t want to miss your plane because you didn’t think about road conditions? There have been heavy rains that could affect your journey.

House cleaning is essential – Edvi Limpieza Total

Thank you for your comment under our ad in GringoPost last week, Mikeydogs2. It is wonderful to know that our hard work is appreciated and that you are satisfied with the cleanings we do for you.

Now that the rains have come, it is not just dust that comes in the windows – what about the mud and dirt we track in on our feet? A veterinarian recently said that people can also track in contagious diseases like feline leukemia virus that can sicken and kill your pets. Leaving your shoes at the door helps, but then if your floors haven’t been cleaned recently…

Our family has received training and certification in cleanliness and procedures for proper cleaning. We work as a team. We bring our own materials or we can use yours. Please let us know if you have allergies to cleaning materials so we can find one that will work for you.

Recommendation for: Marco Leon at 23 Julio, high interest investments

Marco has shown himself and his credit union, to be of the highest integrity and convenience. Driving us to a distant credit union to grab a cashier’s check from an expired investment there, was a real time-saver, as he helped facilitate the transaction.

23 Julio offers at least 10.24% and, if it’s invested for more than a year, the interest is tax-free.

I am happy to recommend Visa Angels (specifically Daniela and Jody), as they smoothly and expertly guided me through my temporary and permanent residence visas, as well as the cédula process. They know the system well, provided accurate information, and I never had to go to Azogues. Perhaps most importantly, Daniela responded to every single email and question in a timely fashion, never leaving me hanging or wondering about the status of my application.

Visa Angels take their jobs seriously and know how to make things happen. Highly recommended.

Pajaro y Bestia cooks on – through the blackouts

Our BBQ is cooked in wood fired smokers. Our sides are cooked over gas. We use electricity in our prep work, and for our computer system. Except for the cornbread, which also requires an electric oven. So, we can keep on cooking, and keep on serving, no matter whether we have power or not.

Now this is not an ideal world with no electricity. It slows us down. We were about 30 minutes late Friday (1:30 PM) in the middle of a blackout before our ribs were done. So please bear with us. Fresh BBQ is targeted for 1 PM each day, but we have other food offerings prior to that.

We will definitely be open Saturday, and cranking out the quality food you have come to expect from us.
