LIVE FROM CARACAS

Yo ho ho! I made it, and whatnot!
Flight in was smooth; hotel in Caracas is awesome— 110 dollar a night kind of a place back home, though I doubt it was nearly that expensive.
Speaking of money, fun anecdote: two dude slugged our luggage from immigration to the shuttle, with us stopping, doing random things, and taking about thirty minutes to get out the door of the airport, because we weren’t in any hurry or anything. They loaded it up and everything. They agreed to 20k bolivares a piece– about 7 bucks. Mmm, the economics of secondary nation-states.
ALso, went to dinner at the restauant on the hotel’s campus– Mr. Grill. Upscale, blah blah blah. Rusty and I split smoked salmon tortellini– oh my goodness. Spectacular. I have pictures! Czech /pics/0406.2/ for some pictures. These haven’t been edited or screened or downscaled or anything. Sorry.

I thought this was a Lamb-family trip to see exotic Venezuela. Instead, it’s a Harding-Class-of-2007 trip? And is its purpore still exotic sight-seeing, or is it an adventure in missionwork?

Have you been paying any attention at all? It’s a for-credit thing, where he and some people from Harding go and teach people about Christ and stuff.

No, Ben is still Ben. I checked last week.
