Our host family took us to their quinta yesterday afternoon. A quinta is basically a villa, a parcel of land that was originally part of the family hacienda. Walking back from the Rio Cuenca (union of the four rivers of Cuenca), I was showered with water from five kids, and L literally soaked people. February 3,4 and 5 are the culmination of the water soaking season. I'm terrified!!!
This weekend I went out to several bars and discotecas in Cuenca. One called LIT was packed because of a birthday party for a local Cuencano. In five minute I'm going to reunite with several people I met this weekend. It seems everywhere I go people are interested in making friends.
I haven't gone to Baños this week yet, though it's on the agenda.
This week at Sampere, we're saying goodbye to several Swiss students that have befriended me. It's sort of a changing of the guard at school because new students, including those from Minnesota have arrived...

Soaking must be fun and feel good.
I have to remember you are not in sub zero weather!
How was the club itself?
