A couple days ago was Ruby's birthday! The first thing we did was exchange presents over breakfast. If I remember correctly, I think Ruby got two sets of earrings, a necklace and a bracelet. After that, we went to school just like a normal day, except during break, there was a special cake for Ruby and we all sang Happy Birthday, in Spanish. I didn't even know about it.
After school was over, we headed to a town called Banos just outside Cuenca. When we arrived at the actual spa, we found out the one half of it was closed for cleaning. We decided to make do with the other half. The spa contained a 42 degree pool (keep in mind this is Celsius) and two Turkish steam rooms, one for women and one for both men and women. After we spent a while in the main pool, we all climbed out and got some refreshments. Ruby and I each got a yogurt parfait and orange juice.
When we got back into town, we headed over to an Italian restaurant that Ruby picked out. We all had some variety of pasta with sauce on it. For dessert, we ate banana splits. Ruby and I each got our own while my parents stole little bites off of them. Over all, it was a fun and tiring day!
