Hi,

I am planning a scouting trip to Ecuador in the Fall checking out various areas of Ecuador that I might possibly want to move to. I do not speak any Spanish, would love to rent first to set up a base camp in an area with many expats in order to develop friendships and to feel safe.

I am a single female with a very large black Goldendoodle. Is it difficult to bring a dog into Ecuador? Is there an area of Ecuador that would be the best for a base camp?

I have no intention of ever driving there so public transportation is key as are safe neighborhoods. Shopping, restaurants, the arts and good healthcare would be great. I am not a fan of condos/close living. I would love a small, 2 bedroom home to rent with a good size yard for the dog.

If anyone can help please respond on the user forum and thank you.

I know some people in Ricaute I regularly give money to so they can eat, as there is massive unemployment there and they cannot find work in Cuenca. But there are many other families I cannot afford to feed. Some have committed suicide, which breaks my heart. I will later do a Go Fund Me, but first would like to see if you would prefer to donate by paypal, as they don’t take any money out.

My paypal account is livefoodfactor@yahoo.com

Please mark “RICAUTE on the note, or FOOD FOR STARVING PEOPLE

Thank you!

Hello Cuenca friends and friends of Paws with Hope. We have good news. Thanks to your generosity we were able to secure the location we are moving to. About a month ago the owner of the house we recently rented sold the house without letting us know the house was for sale. So this is a move we were not by any means prepared for. The bad news is that we need to move by March 15th and still need the funds for the move and to secure the fence for the dogs. Please consider helping us. Currently we are responsible for 9 dogs and 3 cats.

We appreciate your kindness. PayPal Pawswithhopecuenca@yahoo.com

If you are interested in Fairies, Gnomes, and the like (Duendes in Spanish), you will not want to miss this event.

Several Cuenca artists that specialize in bringing these being to life will be featured at a Cafe in Cuenca. You will be able to buy their works at this event, and enjoy delicious snacks at the same time.

Cuenca artist, Magy Peña, will be exhibiting her works there. Her work is particularly interesting because she uses recycled materials extensively in her creations.

The event starts on Friday, March 5th, from 2 to 9 PM, and repeats on Saturday the 6th from 10 AM until 9 PM.

The location is Abuelita Cookies, Matilda Garcia 121 y Calle M. Lopez. Look for the big sign at the entrance.

Here is a brief Facebook post about the event: https://www.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=10159216380109539&id=554474538

This Exchange is basically a casual conversation where we switch languages every 30 minutes. This event is free, however, due to the pandemic, don’t forget to follow these directions:

– The exchange will be one on one, 2 people per table, to maintain social distance.
– The conversation will be spontaneous as usual. The only rule is switching languages every 30 minutes. You decide which language goes first.
– There are only 14 spots, so try to make it early.
– Café Lirée is not an “open cafeteria,” however they have all the biosecurity measures and excellent food.

Dear friends:

Pine nuts are loaded with nutrients, including iron, manganese, magnesium, zinc, vitamin E, and vitamin K. They are rich in protein.

They help improve vision, maintain weight stability, reduce bad cholesterol, benefit and strengthen bones.

They can also potentially reduce the risk of heart attack and increase energy levels.

They are delicious in pesto, salads, and desserts.

Now we have it in our store.

Remember that you can buy only what you need and thus avoid waste.
We want to reduce the use of plastic, we use paper covers and we invite you to bring your favorite bag, as well as your containers to fill them with the necessary amount.

A little north of Paute is an amazing eco-agricola large orchard of apples, pears, and plums. The owner, Adolfo Verdugo, welcome groups of 6 for a 2-hour hike through the amazing hilltop where the fruit is ripe and ready for picking.

Adolfo is very knowledgeable about the flora and fauna, and he loves to show off his beautiful orchards. Being in the fresh air and surrounded by beautiful trees and views over the valley of Paute, was like being in a dream. I went with two adults and three kids: 5, 7, and 11. The kid loved climbing trees, picking fruit, hugging trees. A gorgeous day.

I do have to mention that there is a lot of uphill climbing; rubber boots are recommended.

After we descended to the shop next to the church, we paid the $15 for the tour and for the fruit we had collected. No charge for the fruit we consumed en route.
