Spanish and some indigeous languages are spoken here. Across the border, in Brazil, they speak Portuguese. Since this is a border town, many people in Leticia speak a little bit of Portuguese.
Colombian Pesos are used for currency here. 1 US Dollar = 3,450 Colombian Pesos.
A bottle of water usually costs 2,000 - 3,000 COP, so about $0.60-$0.90.
I had a Peruvian dish called Chicharrón del Pescado this week, which means "fried fish." It's sort of like fish and chips, or like fish sticks. They are delicious!
I listened to lots of Reggaetón, which is kind of like pop music, but in Spanish.
The most fun activity this week was going to watch the pink dolphins!
I read a children's book this week that I found in the school library to help me practice my Spanish.
I played with some slingshots with some high school students who were teaching me about indigenous games.
