  1. Clara's book about Mark and Adela's wedding in Ecuador Here is Oaxaca Here is Ecuador Guayaquil is where the airport is and Cuenca is where the wedding was.

  2. In Guayaquil, the largest city in Ecuador, a park is full of iguanas. We also hiked to the top of these steps. Can you guess how many there are? Then we got in our own bus and we drove over the mountains to Cuenca, where Adela grew up. That’s Adela on the right and her friend Femia, who is from Indonesia but lives in California. I got my hair done on the beach near Guayaquil

  3. Adela’s neighbor Joanna played and sang for us. In Cuenca we stayed at Adela’s mom’s house. Also in the house were Adela’s grandmother, and her two nieces, Natalia and Amy.

  4. María and Meli and I went to a swimming pool where the water is hot because it comes from deep inside the earth.

  5. Lucio and I tried on hats but we didn’t buy one. These hats are called Panama hats but they are made in Ecuador.

  6. Camila and Belen and I threw seeds down at the boys My cousin Mary is showing the bananas we bought in the market.

  7. I ordered Caulafán. It is like fried rice and it was really huge! In Cuenca many people wash their clothes in the river and dry them on the grass.

  8. I took a class and created a work of art.

  9. Here are a lot of Mark and Adela’s friends and family who came to the wedding.

  10. The Inca people lived in Ecuador before the Europeans came. They built walls better than anyone in Europe could do at that time.

  11. Here are Adela’s mother Elsa and her Grandmother Rosa.

  12. Here comes the bride!

  13. My job at the wedding was to bring in the rings on a special pillow.

  14. We’re married!

  15. I wrote a toast to Mark and Adela, and my mom read it to them in front of everyone at the reception (200 people!). I wrote it in Spanish and she read it in English and Spanish. Lucio got bored.

  16. My mom and I got our hair done for the wedding.

  17. FIREWORKS! And that’s my dad carrying around the “vaca loca” with fireworks going off from it.

  18. After the wedding we took a bus to a big party in San Bartolome, where Adela’s grandfather and grandmother were born. But the bus was too big for the roads, so we walked the last part.

  19. At the party we ate guinea pig, which is quite popular in Ecuador, and we helped cook. Papa Sandy is stirring the big pot, and we helped a bit on the tamales and sausage.

  20. Meanwhile, there was plenty for the kids to do.

  21. Finally it was time for my family to say goodbye and hurry off to the airport.
