right now i´m sitting in a cafe in Caracas Venezuela! How unreal is that? the city is beautiful. the hills are green and the water is blue and warm (90 degrees!). I´ve met some amazing people, one from Philly and one from NYC are my closest friends right now. my roommate is from colorado and foes to University of Denver.
We were a little worried about the whole situation with the Pat Robertson comments but everyone has been really nice and really patient as we attempt to speak really bad Spanish. Everyone on the ship is super cool and we´ve had really great weather. One night we hung out on the bow of the ship and i saw the most stars i´ve ever seen in my life and on the horizon off the port side there was a huge lightning storm.
The down side to being on a ship in the middle of the carribean is that we are so isolated from sources of news.
