Dear Grandma,
Mom and Dad got here Sunday afternoon. Yesterday we took the Merida cable car ('teleferico' in Spanish) up to Pico Espejo, about 15633 ft high. It was interesting to go from a sunny tropical climate to a snowy peak in a matter of hours, but we had a lot of fun. I heard about the storms there in Astoria, and I hope you're doing well and comfortable in the aftermath.
God bless,
Eben
