Around Town

There are so many parades all of the time. For all kinds of different things. When we first got here, we saw a Christmas parade, at the end of January. This one is a political parade. Elections are soon and campaigns are everywhere. I got sprayed with shaving cream while taking this picture. Shaving cream, squirt guns, and water balloons are super common, in part because Carnival is almost here.  

The New Cathedral, which isn't new but is new than the Old Cathedral a block away. There are three blue domes at the top, which are symbols of Cuenca.

Coffee Tree! A gringo coffee shop with WiFi. We all go to do homework frequently.

The only gross/new/super-massive insect I've seen. It was on the side of the road.

There's some really pretty architectural features, too. 
In other news: My host mother told me that my Spanish is getting much better!
