So I'm in venezuela... been here for 3 weeks. Not much snow. Tried to surf, it was okay. Now I'm back in Caracas, a bit of a big ugly city but its home for a while, at least until my research is done, then back to the playa to make rumba with la cerveza para la playa, polar ice. Polar ice parties harder than any beer I know. Will be back in Calgary November 18, just in time for snow!
