Last night I was thinking about what to do this morning, and I decided to go on a little adventure. I didn't really have an objective except to go somewhere on my own and look around. So I got on a bus and went to San Felix, the shopping center on this side of the river. I went there a few weeks ago with José, so I had a bit of an idea of how to get there. It was a half hour bus ride each way, I was lucky to get a seat on the way there, not so lucky on the way back. It was an interesting morning, I just wandered. It's a really big area. The streets are full of vendors as well as the storefronts, taxis and trucks still drove (kind of) slowly down the middle of the streets. I bought some food, basically just deep fried bread but it was really tasty.
Ok. Five minutes ago it was sunny and hot out. I just opened my window and it's pouring rain.
Anyway. While walking through crowds, I get lots of strange looks. This morning was no exception. It's kind of funny to watch people do double takes when they see a gringo walking by.
Today I have officially been here for a month. I got to Venezuela a month ago yesterday, but it was a month ago today that I arrived here in Guaiparo. The time has gone by really quickly, it does not seem like it's already been a month. I guess that's a good thing, if I was having a terrible time the time would be dragging by. I changed things up for coming home, I'll be back at the beginning of December instead of towards the end, and the fam is going to come down in the spring sometime rather than for Thanksgiving.
