Sending emails from a sacred mountain?

Climbing mountains to relieve stress? To exercise? To disconnect? Or, just to take selfies for social media? No matter the reason, life is what happens in the mountains while you are reading this, it is not?

I love hiking but mostly I love being disconnected since from the pandemic I had been working behind a screen, you know, being connected was a priority at that time.

Things have changed fortunately!

In 2019, during a trip to Simiatug Llacta (the land of brave embroiderer women) I fell in love with an amazing mountain, Puñay. After 4 years, finally the last weekend I had the chance to visit (climb) it.

El cerro Puñay is at 3200 meters over sea level. Four (or maybe five) steps lead you to this Cañari sacred mountain:

1. Make a decision
2. Take a bus to Chunchi, then
3. Take a “chiva” or taxi to Santa Rosa
4. Prepare yourself, I mean warm up your legs, shoulders, arms (and mind) to carry your backpack, sleeping bag, a tent and some extras, also be prepared to bipolar weather and be ready to get rid of negativity, sorrows or whatever you are carrying on your soul backpack.

Massage after hip and knee replacement surgery

Massage can play a critical role in the recovery process after joint-replacement surgery.

Hip and knee-replacement surgery offers a path to pain-free mobility, but they usually come with long and arduous recoveries. Massage therapy can play a crucial role in the recovery process.

Massage can soothe the guarding reaction of tissues, helping them to return to normal function.

Additionally, lymphatic drainage massage is useful in reducing pain and swelling and should, in many cases, be considered a core part of the broader post-surgical therapeutic protocol.

Massage can also address other common post-surgery issues, such as the buildup of scar tissue that often accompanies hip and knee procedures.

The year is coming to an end and what better way to celebrate than with an unique city tour on the Tren Turístico!

On this tour, CCC Spanish directors, Martha and Fausto, will take you off the beaten city tour path for a delightful ride through the historic and picturesque city of Cuenca. You will travel along the streets of neighborhoods that are sometimes left out of a typical city tour and experience the city on the whimsical Tren Turístico.

The tour will take you to the heights of Turi where you will get to visit one of Cuenca’s artistic icons, Eduardo Vega. You will have a guided tour of his ceramic studio and gallery as well as his personal family botanical garden. At the Turi Mirador, you will get to see Cuenca and the valley in all its splendor. It’s the perfect place for photos and overall reflection on the beauty of this magical city and the surrounding Andes mountains.

This is a wonderful celebration for the end of the year and to commemorate CCC Spanish’s 3rd anniversary! (You don’t have to be a CCC Spanish student to join in the fun!)

Condominium, houses, towers for cats

The cat by nature is a very curious and playful animal. Scratching is one of his “hobbies” that helps him file his nails and is a way of channeling his anxiety. If your cat scratches the sofa at home for any reason, you do not have to be angry. Perhaps you are not offering him another alternative or you do not know that he needs a toy to channel his energy. That is why you have to know the star toy, the scratching post for cats.

– The scraper helps keep your nails healthy and strong.
– It serves as a refuge for you when you seek tranquility.
– One of the most important benefits it provides to your cat is that it keeps him active and helps him avoid health problems. – Helps calm your instinct for curiosity.
– Strong, solid and stable, all in wood.

If had to learn a second language again…

I would start by doing just two things:

1. Listening and
2. Mimicking…

Language learners focus mostly on the writing and reading skills and focus 95% of the time on developing them, so they become expert readers and writers (so to speak).

But…
How to listen? How to imitate?
To improve listening skills we need to develop auditory memory. Adults learn in a different way than children since we already have a native language framework.

n Beginner students, I will help you build a cemented second language framework (the foundation of mimicking).

n Intermediate students I will determine what is preventing you from making progress, is this a pronunciation problem? or a word connection problem?

n Advanced students, we will work on the rhythm (pitch and intonation) of the language, which doesn’t mean accent reduction but accent addition (change the rhythm in connected speech).

That’s what I will address on my Training the ear course for beginner, intermediate and advanced students in the next January 2024.

Time flies (el tiempo vuela), just one spot left, if working your listening and speaking skills is one of your 2024 resolutions, I am (still) here to help.

Cashew nuts / raw, roasted!

Dear friends of Gramm Bulkshop, here we share some information about cashew nuts:

Cashews are especially rich in unsaturated fats — a category of fats linked to a lower risk of premature death and heart disease.

They’re also low in sugar, a source of fiber, and contain a significant amount of protein. Their rich fiber and protein content can help reduce hunger and increase feeling full.

In addition, cashews contain copper, a mineral essential for energy production, healthy brain development, and a strong immune system. They’re also a great source of magnesium and manganese, nutrients important for bone health.

Cashews are rich in carotenoids and polyphenols, two categories of antioxidants that may help reduce inflammation and offer protection from disease.

Our products always are delicious and fresh

Thank you Cuenca from Pájaro y Bestia

We are a converted house with 48 seats.
That sounds like way too many for a ¨hole in the wall¨ BBQ.

Yet on Friday we were completely overwhelmed at lunch. Gringos galore. Nearly half of the Cuenca soccer team along with management. And so many Ecuadorian regulars from the neighborhood.

Cooked 37 pounds of brisket. Sold it all in just over an hour.

I guess these are a good problems to have. I will buy more tables next week.

Come see why there is a feeding frenzy at this little ¨hole in the wall¨.

Hemp seeds!

Dear friends,
At Gramm Bulkshop we have hemp seeds! we share with you some information about it:

Protein
Hemp seeds 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 seeds 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, thiamin, vitamin B 6, folate

From FAQ to “Odd Asked Questions” (Part II of 2)

Q. Can I meet you in order to determine if you are qualified to teach me?
No, if after reading my posts you are not convinced that what I offer has value, you should take lessons with another teacher.

Q. I have been paying X dollars per lesson with X teacher, do you offer some specials?
I value my time enough, I hope you do too.
“Solo el necio confunde valor y precio”
Quote by Antonio Machado (poet).

Q. Can I pay with magic beans, guinea pigs, craft beers or Ecuadorian bananas? Good try! but unfortunately these payments are not available currently.

Q. Did I hear “Okay Vilma, just cut to the chase and tell me what to do?” por supuesto, vamos al grano!
Just one spot left:
Will you grab it now?
Will you grab it in 2025? (shhhhhh, probably I will be retired by that time).
December is knocking the door… knock, knock. Do you hear it?

Oh no! it’s already here! and we are still wearing the November mood.

Condominium, houses, towers for cats

The cat by nature is a very curious and playful animal. Scratching is one of his “hobbies” that helps him file his nails and is a way of channeling his anxiety. If your cat scratches the sofa at home for any reason, you do not have to be angry. Perhaps you are not offering him another alternative or you do not know that he needs a toy to channel his energy. That is why you have to know the star toy, the scratching post for cats.

– The scraper helps keep your nails healthy and strong.
– It serves as a refuge for you when you seek tranquility.
– One of the most important benefits it provides to your cat is that it keeps him active and helps him avoid health problems. – Helps calm your instinct for curiosity.
– Strong, solid and stable, all in wood.
