Horses, Bread, and Guinea Pigs

After two long weeks we finally have our visas for the year.

We left for Zuleta with Ramiro and Cecilia. We stayed there for three days where we ate cuy (guinea pig)… it was rubbery… and we had watched them cook it… uhg! They buttered it with an onion stick then held it in front of the oven. Then we rolled out some bread, then all of a sudden someone would yell ”MORE BREAD!”ย  and everyone would run and fill baskets full. It was fun.

Then it was off to Quito, we stayed with our missionary friends. We ate, worked on our visas, ate, slept, ate, visas, visas, and visas some more. We stayed in a hotel for 2 nights by the train station up in the mountains. The food was great… and fancy. We went to the train station and saw some indigenous people do a traditional dance. It was beautiful there. I rode on a horse for a dollar, it was great! Later we went to the farm (run by the same people) and saw:

2 grown-ups and a baby lamas

2 cows

2 giant horses

2 regular horses

2 mini ponies

30 bunnies, (some so fluffy you can put your arms around it and it would fill it up. Another had such a fat neck it could live without eating for 6 months.

2 deer

and some peacocks too.

Oh and a dread-lock donkey.

Elijah rode on the dread-lock donkey, and me and Madeline rode on horses… it felt cool!

Well that’s all for now.

So all may know,

Abigail
