Arrival

Well I finally made it to Caracas after hours of driving around Texas trying to get all of the extra documents that the Houston Consulate decided to require at the last minute. I packed my bags all five checked pieces and headed off to Atlanta and then to Caracas. It took my luggage over an hour to all make it off the plane and I quickly cleared customs since I was one of the last people still in the baggage claim area. I went to bed around 3am on Sunday morning to be woken up a short while later by the party going on in the building next door that was my first of many introductions to Caracas. I got up early the next morning to remember that I did not bring any towels with me so I grabbed a t-shirt and decided that I had to shower and dry off with a t-shirt. I hit the ground running at the school after a brief tour. I finally made it to a supermarket to get the basics and then it was off to a fiesta at vice superintendents house where we ate and drank until 8 or 9pm although it felt like midnight after so little sleep. I crashed last night and woke up refreshed for a new day. I will post pictures of my apartment and classroom soon. Come back and check the blog often. I will try and update it every two weeks. Hope you enjoy it!
