    March 12th – A Rainy Day at the Humboldt School

    Today wasn’t ideal for traveling! Gray skies and drizzle kept us mostly inside the camper. Two more campers arrived at the Humboldt School, both from the U.S. and heading south toward Argentina.

    Other than a quick trip to the grocery store, we spent the day journaling and writing letters to friends and family. Meanwhile, the two Brazilians in the yellow camper packed up and set off toward Colombia.

    March 13th – Errands & Exchanges

    A quiet day with a few errands. We dropped off our passports at the Venezuelan consulate, then wandered through shops and boutiques. Later, we stopped at Correo to mail our letters and exchanged dollars on the black market—an interesting experience, as always.
