Long Time No Post...Sorry

So it has been forever since I last posted anything because things around here have been crazy. I have had several visitors and taken a few trips. Needless to say I have become a bad blogger. Things at school are still going well. I love the classes that I teach and I am really getting to know and love the people that I work with. Everyone is so friendly and helpful. I have found some great traveling partners. First up Jeff came to visit at the beginning of October for my October break and we traveled with a group of teachers to Isla Margarita which is an island in the Caribbean owned by Venezuela. We had a blast. It was a bit of an adventure to get there and took a lot longer than everyone told us but we made it there and back in one piece and had a blast. First we drove to the town of Puerto La Cruz which everyone said was a three to four hour trip. That turned into about 5 1/2 hours driving on this crazy road that was one lane each way for most of it. We finally got there but had no where to stay so we ended up in this dump I will have to post pictures because it was pretty bad. We were only there for six hours and then it was off to the ferry. Once again people said oh the ferry takes around 2 hours well three hour later we were finally there. It was great although we got some rain (which according to locals is never suppose to happen). Overall we had a lot of fun in the sun. I will put some pictures up soon...Sorry for the long absence but there will be more to come soon!!!!
