Taking Lessons on Spanish, Life

We{re taking lessons together now and I{m making progress! They took us for a hike to see Cuenca from above.
The above mentioned above.

Then we saw some neat-o ceramic art by a famous local guy.
Here is the artist E. Vega with random celebrity Jack Hanna. If I we{re to ever get my picture with him, I would certainly insist he hold a monkey or something. ¿Otherwise, what{s the point, you know?

His art is all over Ecuador, so afterward we went to see one in a hotel near by.


We{ve been trying real hard to volunteer, but it is just not in the cards here in Cuenca. At one point they set us up to be volunteer nurses for some reason. We went home after killing very few.
I can{t think what to add about Cuenca. We{ve been here forever and have a good vegetarian restraunt and a few other favorites we frequent. They have a lot of music here in the park. Yesterday there was a guy, being paid by the government, like all the music in the park, doing some very good karaoke. It was kinda lame. Also, there is a guy that sells snails next to our hostel, huge snails! And we{re found some cockatiels we say high to when we go grocery shopping. And also, we{ve been watching pirated dvd{s of Deadwood and the Tudors a lot. And and and... I dunno.
We have all souls day and the Cuenca festial to look forward too before meeting up with mom.
