Treava in Cuenca

Time has flown by so fast! So much has happened since I last wrote you. Currently we are in Cuenca, Ecuador. We rented an apartment here, and I love it.

I have a friend, Maria Del Carmen, to play with downstairs. She is so much fun! She has a WII and over 200 littlest pet shops! She doesn’t speak English, so I get to practice my Spanish a lot when I play with her. We usually play WII and monopoly. She usually wins WII because she has more practice, but I usually win monopoly because she will give me all her money for one property…and then she goes bankrupt and I land on free parking! She is very nice; you would love playing with her!

A couple days ago, we went to Banos. It is a hot spring. There was a sauna and hot pools. There were underground pools. They had yum-yum food! I ate chicken that had bacon on top of it, French fries, and salad. I miss the food in Alaska sooooooo much though!

Then the next day, we went to SigSig which is a hat town. It had the biggest hat in the world and the smallest. It was very cool. I also got to try on a metal hat…It was heavy! We also went to Chordelege, a jewelry town where I bought a ballerina necklace, a dolphin real silver necklace, and some earrings (my mom said I can get my ears pierced this summer!!!!!).

We had April fools day with my Grandma. It was yummy. We made fake food. Next we are renting a car and traveling around Ecuador. Noelle’s friend Mary is coming and I can’t wait to see her!
