Hola from Abigail

 

Hello,

 

I am so sorry that I have not posted anything lately. We have been super busy.

 

The Flater’s drove with us to the  Atlanta airport, we got on the plane and we flew for 5 hours.

 

 

 

When we got off the plane we were in Quito.  Mr. Darin was waiting there to pick us up. We went to his guest house.  They have 3 kids Ashlee Alex  and Luke they are very nice.  We saw cuy (guinea pig) being sold on the street.  Mr. Davalos came to pick us up to take us to the jungle.   It was another  5hours .   

 

 

 

We went through Mishualli  

 

We went to Tena  to the market.  It had fruit and vegetables.  It was stinky.   They had chickens there too.   We will put pictures on here once Mom figures out how.  We went to the grocery store.   Everything was  written in Spanish

 

 

 

Mr. Davalos took us into the jungle  and  Junior ( one of the boys) climbed up really high in a tree  and threw down a pineapple looking fruit.  It was a soft round  prickly thing.  The texture was mushy inside.  It tasted like banana  and bread  pudding mixed.  Junior also got an orange cocoa pod from a tree.  He smacked it against a tree to break it open.  It was like a slimy white coating.  On the inside was a purple cocoa bean.  The white stuff was too slimy. Mom liked it.  The bean was bitter. 

 

 

 

We took a hike around the campus.  We stopped at the river.  Robby and Elijah soaked themselves.  It was fun.  It was like the rapids like you see on T.V. 

 

 

 

We had dinner with the Davalos’.  Ms. Charmai made pizza.  Nine people live in their house, and I don’t know all their names yet. 

 

The only reason I don’t like it is the bugs.    I really miss my friends and family. But we will get to all of them  in June. 

 

Love,

Abigail
