Colombia, Caracas y Casa
Ahhh...Colombia. What a great time. I won´t attempt to fully describe everything I saw in five days, but I can say that it was wonderful to get out of Caracas for a bit.
Oddly, my Spanish was´t much better there than it was here, but I was lucky enough to have good friends to chaperone me through Bogota & Pereira.
And drink Aguardiente with me!
Anyway, I´ll let these pictures tell the thousand-ish words. The trip was great, especially the drive through the Andes (minus the three hour, high-altitude traffic jam at 11pm on Friday night!)
Strangely, coming back to Caracas was eerily like coming home. I have only been here for about a month, but when I was in another damned traffic jam on the way into Caracas, I felt that sort of familiar relief one has after a trip abroad.
Speaking of home...Amanda arrives in Caracas on Friday morning! We still haven´t decided if we´ll go to island paradise, Los Roques, or to the Amazon. Once she leaves, I will have a mere three weeks of Venezuela left.
But somehow I get the feeling, I won´t be gone from my Latin American home very long...

Wow, this looks amazing! :-)
I'm getting the travel bug again. Would be a lot of fun to fly down to Venezuela... Instead we'll likely go discover Montana. That should also be fun!
Hey! I'm totally jealous that you went to Papi Chulo's wedding! And Colombia - isn't it WONDERFUL?!! I had brunch with your mom the other day. Love her so much. So sad that she's not staying in NY. :(
