Adjusting to Caracas


Well, we have arrived.....safely, last Friday. We have been EXTREMELY busy, with getting to know the new teachers, opening bank accounts (with no money), getting cell phones, stealing the Internet from neighbors and making sure cable TV isn't cut off.

Caracas is a great city woven into the mountains and hillside....literally. I have not been all around the city, but in our immediate "hood" the roads wind, climb and descend all over the place. Our apartment is HUGE (and should be for about $4500 a month!). Included the maids quarters (which we will not have) there are 4 bedrooms and 3 full baths. We are on the fifth floor with a nice view once you get around the building in front of us. Photos will follow :) Check my picasa page later on. http://picasaweb.google.com/davis.ken

Silvia is loving her job in the library plus she will be helping a few needy students too. Analee is already enrolled in a soccer camp this week from 8am to 4pm......mostly because we can't watch her :) But she is having a blast, although tired. I am stressing as usual, next week classes start and until today, I was a little unsure of my content of the classes and how to grade according to the school and the IB program. That changed today and I am now feel better. But the Athletic Director position still has me a little baffled.

Well, that is it for now.....more to come! Take care. We miss and love you all.

We are going through the same Chaos in Seattle... though its easier returning to Seattle than when we moved to Japan! Glad to see you are safely moved - good luck!
Your brother in moving and family.
