On June 22nd, Gwen Sterner wanted to know:
Can anyone recommend a store in the Salinas or La
Libertad area were I can purchase bug spray and fertilizer for house
plants. Also has anyone used a particular bug spray that they would
recommend?

therapist. Her phone number is 096-961-6778 and she does a FULL hour

fully trained in therapeutic massage and has been practicing for 14
years in Canada and here in Ecuador.

Window and Screen Installs
I would like to highly recommend a young fellow that installed new
screens in my dining room area. His name is Marbel Yagual. We have the
floor to ceiling slider windows across the wall which are great to let
in the breeze but also let in the flies and mosquitoes. Marbel was recommended
to me by Connie Carter and I couldn't be more pleased. He showed up on
time. He was courteous, friendly and very professional. He measured
three times to make sure everything was correct. The screens had to be
customed made due to the dimensions. He returned five days later to
install the screens. After installing the screens, there was a gap of
about two inches at the top because the cement that the tracks were
sitting on was not level at one spot. He spent the next hour chipping
away to make sure the screens fit perfectly. He does not speak English
and my Spanish is not that strong, but we used Google translate and had
no trouble communicating. His cell phone number is 099-247-4418.
