My Christmas holidays begin today. All our classes (all my two classes) have been cancelled for today and the coordinators have organized a Christmas lunch for us. And tomorrow, at 8 in the morning, Kasia and I are taking the bus to Mérida. Kasia has been planning this trip for ages, it seems, and we are both really excited. Ah, and I think Honza, our Czech trainee (I never mentioned him before I think, he arrived like a month ago), will be there as well.

Mérida is like the most chrismassy place you can find in Venezuela cause it is the coldest. I think it is situated somewhere in the Andes, cause there are mountains with snow even. We´ve already got a reservation for the cable car to go up the mountain. We can´t wait to get out of hot Mcbo and experience some cold weather for a change - cold meaning 15-20. Á propos cold...I have a cold again. So I am planning on taking the max dosis of medicine tomorrow when I´m sitting 12 hours (or something) on the bus to Merida.

We don´t have the return tickets to Maracaibo yet, but we´re planning to return for Christmas. We´ve been invited to (several places, actually) Josés house on the 24th so I guess we´ll return on the 23rd or something. We´ll see. I´ll let you know what happens.
