Cathedral in Cuenca Popcorn Soup
Today I had the morning off!! Yay! So Hannah, Shawni and I went to town. We climbed to the top of the cathedral and went shopping for everything you could think of. I bought myself a headband and an alpaca scarf!
The view is AMAZING!
For lunch today we ate a califlour soup that we put popcorn in as a topping. It was actually really good. The food doesn’t have a lot of salt/flavor and the popcorn added flavor to it!
During lunch Hannah got some crazy news about her coworker/boss and two of her preschool students being shot busy their husband/father, who then shot himself. SO sad!
She was the person who was supposed to work the afternoon shift at Cunas with me, so I was a little stressed that she wasn’t going to come to work, but she came in order to keep her mind off of everything. She did really well considering the circumstance.
At Cunas there were two lady volunteers who are living in Ecuador, who are from the U.S.. One of them spoke terrible Spanish and it was really funny to listen to the way she pronounced everything.
One of the boys at Cunas today was being so grumpy! He was crying about everything and I was ready to smack him..don’t worry I didn’t. It is hard because they don’t have parents to teach them right and wrong so we are kind of in charge of that. I eventually just left him to sit and cry and when he was done he would come back and be fine as long as nobody touched him.
I did get to hold this adorable baby who fell asleep in my arms and I was dying! I also made friends with Betty, a Tia at Casas and Cunas.
Tonight was HML and we played soccer with the girls, but they mostly just chill with Logan. He is definitely a favorite. They did let me come sit by them on the steps while we sand songs from Disney, Frozen, Selena Gomez, Lizzy Migure, etc. It was pretty cute.
For dinner Kati made us a vegetarian curry that was AMAZING! We are it with a Nan bread and it was delicioso! I will make that sometime too!
Buenos Noches!
