My internet connection is not very reliable, but I will try to get this posted while it is working. We arrived in Cuenca yesterday afternoon and came straight to our apartment. They were still working on it when we arrived, but we were able to move in and spend the night here.

Our landlords are the Cabreras. They are a family that we met when we were here last winter, and they have built a 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom apartment that we are renting.

Today we went with Juan Cabrera, the dad, and bought a new refrigerator, as well as a variety of small items that we need. Our Spanish is getting a lot of work, and improving rapidly, although it doesn't feel nearly as rapid as we would like.

The weather here was sunny and warm this morning, but a thunderstorm came up this afternoon and it rained off and on for a couple of hours. Everything is green and beautiful.

I will write more when I have a chance, but I want to post this while the connection is working, and I still have other things that I need to get done.
