I am here!

9/15/09
I am in Caracas. I arrived yesterday, slept the entire day to make up for mucho lost sleep on the flight and finished the first day of orientation today. As Anna and I sat in the Houston airport waiting for our midnight flight, we found out that there was a 6 point something earthquake yesterday outside of Caracas. We were not sure whether or not to consider that a bad omen, especially being that our visas did not arrive until the day before we left and the fact that the cab driver was holding a sign that said. “Karen Crane.” I am happy to report that we were not abducted and made it safely to our lovely hotel, Paseo Las Mercedes. Caracas is more beautiful than I expected and it is a shame that it is so dangerous because I would love to be able to explore the city more.


This post is a little boring, just to tell everyone that I am safe and sound:)
