Things at school are going really well. I am loving all of my classes and I am making lots of friends at the school. Today they decided that it was time for me to learn all of the bad words that they use in Venezuela so that I would feel right at home. The school is great they are hosting a TGIF party this friday for the staff to enjoy free drinks, food, music, and dance. I can't wait to try out my latin moves. I think that I am going to the beach club with a few other expatriate teachers and my principal and his family this weekend so that should be a lot of fun. Now that I am feeling better I will try and write at least once a week.

Human Again...
So after a week of feeling pretty horrible I am finally back to myself. I did a bit of adventuring with the bus system again on Sunday and went to an area called Chacaito where they have a plaza and a bunch of different department stores. It was great. While we were there we decided to get an ice cream and there are people with ice cream carts all over the plaza. However we decided that we wanted this one type of ice cream bar in particular so we went from person to person trying to find the magnum cookies and cream. After about four people we located the infamous ice cream bar. Now the adventures really started when we went to sit in the plaza to eat the ice cream. We could only find one bench that was free or didn't have a pair of "novios" making out on them. However, we soon realized that the bench was free because a group of crazy preachers were holding a very enthusiastic sermon right next to us. After we finally got over that craziness we were approached by a guying doing interviews in spanish about the environment I thought for sure he would know before coming up to us that we were clearly all gringas but no he tried to interview us nonetheless.
