Had a baby here; Ecuador passport question

Hello,

My child was born in Ecuador. The child has the cedula and a European passport, but no Ecuador passport. Given that my child has a cedula and a European passport, I am, perhaps wrongly, assuming an Ecuador passport is not required for foreign travel. Does anyone have any experience of travelling abroad with a child born in Ecuador without an Ecuador passport? Were there any issues?

Many thanks in advance and have an awesome day.

Azuay Community Theater needs a new home

On December 29, 2022 the Azuay Community Theater’s landlord informed the president of the organization that the lease on the theater’s current space would not be renewed when the current contract expires at the end of March 2023. The theater’s neighbor, the Hotel Oro Verde, has offered more than twice the theater’s current monthly rent to take over the lease. Not surprisingly, the landlord accepted the offer.

ACT intends to go forward at its current location with a concert on January 28 and 29 to benefit the theater featuring Deb Davis, Cindy Benson, Glenn Gano and Mark Deckard, as well as the production of four one-act plays in mid-February. Subsequent shows, however, will be at a new location, as yet to be determined.

During the four years the theater has occupied its current location, the organization has accumulated, at its own expense, sufficient seating, sound and lighting equipment, and construction material to be able to build out a new theater in an essentially empty space. The board has asked a few Cuenca real estate agents to help locate potential sites for a new theater. Property owners, theater patrons and interested parties are welcome to help with the search and can obtain a description of the desired specifications for a new site by emailing actseats@gmail.com.

Thank you Cuenca from Pájaro y Bestia

Another big weekend at Pájaro y Bestia. Almost sold out of ribs Friday and sold out several hours before closing on Saturday. There were barely enough leftovers for me to have one lunch this week. Well, I guess that is a good problem to have.
I urge you to WhatsApp and reserve your food in advance if you are coming for ribs. I hate to disappoint people.

This week we will have some unadvertised experimental dishes on Saturday. We are l looking to broaden our horizons and put more dishes in the rotation. We are close to doubling our seating, and want to keep you coming back with increased options.

Watch tomorrow for the menu.

Chelation therapy removes heavy metals from your body

Chelation therapy is an IV infusion therapy that helps rid your body of toxins. During therapy, I infuse a chemical called EDTA (ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid), which binds with toxic metals in your blood (mercury, copper, arsenic, aluminum) and removes them from your body.

Heavy metal poisoning occurs when the body’s soft tissues absorb toxic amounts of metal. Heavy metal poisoning is a common health problem due to industrial, agricultural, and sewage waste. It may also occur due to food consumption or certain medications.

Recommendation for Rindie Fas, face lifting massage

Rendie moved to Cuenca from London, where she was a facialist for about 20 years. Her facial was certainly unique and a very positive experience. She spent about three hours massaging my head, neck, shoulders, chest, arms and face. She varies the pressure of the massage from very light to very deep and will adjust according to the individual.

This morning, the skin on my face looked plumper and my wrinkles were less noticeable. I recommend her highly and her pricing was very reasonable considering the amount of time and products she used.

Recommendation for Ni Tu Ni Yo, restaurant

A friend recommended Ni Tu Ni Yo and boy, are we glad he did. Cristiana makes delicious Southern Italian food that she learned from her Italian grandmother. It was the first time we ate pesto minestrone soup and it is amazing. She also makes the traditional red minestrone.

There are 3 types of lasagna and we tried the meat version and the vegetable version. We went back on a Sunday to try her Italian breakfast which she only makes on Sundays. Cristiana can explain it to you but it is something we never had before and we will be back for more. Lastly, her cookies are amazing. She makes a chocolate chip and an oatmeal raisin to die for.

Cristiana’s husband, Jorge, is the server, sommelier, bus boy, etc. When you eat there, you feel part of their family. They are a very sweet couple. Highly recommended.

Hours are Wednesday to Saturday- 12:30 to 8 PM and Sunday 9 AM – 2 PM. Closed Monday and Tuesday. A 5-minute walk from San Sebastián Park.

There’s still room – Presence Workshop

There’s still room for this one-day workshop where you will learn tools and techniques to explore your inner self and move into the new year with a fresh perspective and the ability to connect to your true potential!

Embodied presence is the experience of being fully here with a quiet mind, a receptive non-reactive heart, and grounded in our physical sensation, which is the foundation from which we access all the intelligence and wisdom available to us. While our habitual ways of thinking, being, and doing are comfortable and can serve us well, they can also limit us, and we’re usually the last ones to see it. Increased presence allows you to become more attuned to inner and outer reality, to make new and creative choices rather than habitual ones, and to be more empowered and effective in whatever you’re doing. With Presence, we can bring more to the world, to our work, and to our relationships.

In this workshop, you will:

– Be introduced to the three centers of intelligence we all have and why 3-centered awareness is the key to living consciously rather than on autopilot as we do much of the time
– Learn and practice a seven-minute Presence practice that you can easily incorporate into your daily life
– Spend time in nature where we will actively apply and experience the power of presence

Fish and chips + coconut shrimp and chips…Joes’ Secret Garden

Saturday, in restaurant dining … Sunday, we can deliver or you can pickup; it’s take out day.
English Pub Style, that’s how we cook our sea bass (corvina), sweet and tender white fish filet seasoned and dipped in our own special beer batter, then fried to a golden crust finish. Crisp and crunchy battered shrimp, with a little sweet coconut, a Western favorite. We think you will like it. Served with Joe’s special apple-horseradish slaw, a pile of chips, hot and tartar sauces for sure. Finish your meal with creamy passion fruit mousse and our special coffee and tea.

Or select our always-popular herb and garlic roasted chicken always an option if ordered in advance. Vegetarians are a pleasure to cook something special for. Just tell us ahead of time.

Full bar available this week featuring homemade Egg Nog and Creamy Pina Colada, frozen or not, your choice.

Afternoon tea and champagne toast at idiomART on Tuesday

FAAN Animal Welfare invites you to join our Welcome and Appreciation Tea for Community Volunteers. You’ll get to know other animal lovers in Cuenca who are volunteering their time and talent to help us build Ecuador’s most modern and sustainable shelter.

Do the dogs have jobs for you? They’ve been working overtime. Whether you like to cook/entertain (as the dogs say throw a PAWTY), have skills in writing, photography, excel, social media, construction/building or simply love to work with animals, we can craft a flexible, volunteer role just for you.

Attend this community social and learn about FAAN, the Shelter Project and ways you can volunteer with us and contribute to Cuenca becoming know as a city that truly loves and respects its animals.
