3 weeks later . . .
A damaged power cord has kept me away from my blog for 3 weeks. It's nice to have a valid excuse.

The trip went smoothly - no surprises. Spent 3 hours at the Houston Airport with Ricardo Diaz, a friend from Bogota days. I have never gotten together with Ricardo that I didn't come away feeling like I had just been given a gift from the Lord.
The Ebys left this morning for Saskatchewan, and a few hours later I left for Seattle. As I sit in a Day's Inn tonight, I think of Arlene, suddenly alone in a quiet, empty house. I pray that she won't be too lonely, and that she will be able to sleep. I love her very much! She has a day off tomorrow and then goes back to work on Thursday.
Over the next two months I plan on using this blog to keep family and friends informed regarding my time in Caracas. I leave Prince George this Tuesday (Aug 5) and fly to Seattle where I will spend the night. On the sixth I fly to Houston where I have a six hour layover before taking a red-eye flight to Caracas where I arrive at 5:30 a.m.. A good friend from Colombia days, Ricardo Diaz, is planning on coming to the airport in Houston to spend a couple of hours with me. I always look forward to opportunities to connect with Ricardo and catch up on what's happening in his life. I just saw in the news that a tropical storm (might turn into a hurricane) could be visiting Houston at the same time that I am, so we'll see what happens.
