When i´m up I can´t get down


So we arrived in Ciudad Bolivar a couple hours ago. It is amazing how everything always works out. We are getting this whole travel thing, and better yet, it is getting cheaper the more we do it. We just finished paying 120 Bolivares for 2 nights in this really cool colonial era type area, which is 10 Bolivares more than we were paying for each night in Puerto la Cruz. Every night we are somewhat nervous because we havent planned where we are going to sleep the next night. After Puerto la Cruz with their insane prices, (ie. a veggie sub from Subway was $7.50 cdn after conversions.) At one point there was talk of coming home after Machu Picchu, but now it looks like we can make the entire thing. We have met some very helpful people(especially in the black market) which has made getting around a little easier.

Tomorrow we are going to try and find a tour for Roraima(if you dont know what this is, you definately need to Google it.) Thanks for all who responded, makes us feel like you are right here with us.

Hey guys,
Try really, really hard to make it to Roraima. It looks like such an awesome place to be that close and then miss it.

You need to convert more for me! What is 120 Bolivares?
I live vicariously through you.

Emersson won't stop crying at the door since you left Brad. He's driving me nuts.
