Visiting my family; Spanish thank-you letters

Since Ireen, Felipe, and Emily were away in Peru for Ireen and Emily's birthdays and for Christmas, we had a little post-Christmas family get-together today (without Jennifer, though, who was busy with uni).

We ate raclette together, watched some videos from Peru on Felipe's laptop (and also a couple of graphics demos reminiscent of the ones I saw in the early '90s), and got presents from Ireen and Felipe.

We had already given them theirs before they left, and (at Felipe's request) had also given them small toys to distribute to Felipe's nephews and nieces. They, in turn, had written us letters of thanks, which Felipe distributed today.

I got a spindle of blank CD-Rs which I had asked for, and Stella got a crocheting needle. We also all got a little jar made out of a gourd or something like that, and painted in Peruvian style.

Here are the letters that Stella and I got; one from Joan, a niece of Felipe's, and one from Alicia, Felipe's sister and the mother of Joan. I understood most of them and will Babelfish them to check, but perhaps someone from my friends list (jerzeegrrl? asciident?) can check my translation?

Content / Ask Me Anything

A couple of people voted "this journal is not updated often enough" on my recent poll, so I thought I'd make another one asking about what you like to read.

In the end, I'll only take this as a guideline, since I usually post what I think of posting rather than what people expect me to post, but it does influence the entries I make.
