More Cuenca, More Fun!


Gillian took a few Spanish lessons before I started and went on a field trip to this art museum that was actually not closed!

I don{t know the story behind this one, sorry, haha.

Then we went and bought cool hats.

A hat wedding dress is actually a thing people do here. Kinda cool!

You can store your hats either in these tiny balsa wood boxes or in hat-shaped bags, which are just like carrying a hat.

The streets of Cuenca.
The convent behind our hostel is a suprisingly loud place. They blare music at 4 am like the couple that runs the hostle and it{s always under construction 7am-12am.
Oh ya, our hostel is now under construction too, but we{re staying since we get free internet. It{s weird though; after 6pm, we{re the only people in the place. We could steal their computer and leave. I don{t know why they would trust anyone so much but they do. The first night alone, someone kept trying to get in. I crept downstairs at 1am or something. I didn{t recognize him so I crept back up. There are all sorts of gates protecting us, but it was still creepy. Oh and they left all these alarms on all over. It was a weird night.
