Merida - Back in Uni...

Épale!

How is everybody around the world doing¿? I guess most of you are already on holidays, or ready to go, so there will be no jealous people writting back... Which is good!


Well... after a few days in Merida I am now in Maracay, in my way to Choroní (following David's wise advice) and planning to stay there around five days and then back to Caracas, to meet up with the people from the turtles project.

Merida has been great. Emigdio's family hospitality was just incredible... but, to carry on with the weird things that can happen to me, he suggested that I should give a lecture (or something similar) at the Universidad de los Andes (the oldest Uni in Venezuela), where he is a Professor. Believe or not, I accepted, and gave a 2 hours presentation on Digital TV... I couldn't believe that I remembered so much! But it was amazing to be back in Uni, so far away from my normal enviroment and try to communicate some stuff (I could hear the ones at the back of the class snoring, so there were losses in the link... :oD)

Well... this implied a new change in my dates... I am flying away from Venezuela on the 18th... and to cancel most of the tourism in Merida. At the begining I thought it was going to be easy peasy... but then the nerve kicked it, and decided to spend more time working on the slides! But a visit to Merida is not a visit, with out going up on the "Teleférico".

The view from the top is amazing, and walking over 3000 metres is always a nice challenge. Also, one have to see the amazing Frailejones, the typical plants from these mountains.

You will get more news soon... but I have to go to the beach now... hehehe... Holidays!!!!

Un beso muy fuerte a todso,

Ciao ciao,
