First Week in Caracas

The city of Caracas is nestled in a valley surrounded by mountains and rolling hills. Here we're standing at a look-out not far from the apartment we'll move into in March. We're looking to the north, so just over those mountains is the ocean and fabulous beaches that the locals like to visit on the week-ends.


We love the people and the climate. Our driver Juan Carlos is a friendly guy who really likes Nicholas, or 'pepinito' as he calls him, his version of Pickle, which translates to 'little cucumber'. It's only too bad the city is not really safe enough to walk around freely. We did find a nice park where we had a picnic...


Nicholas loves the liquid yogurt. Hmmmm - does he like being photographed....?
....yeah, he likes it!!!!!
I told you Nicholas loves to eat. His new name here besides "pepinito" is "gordito" (little fatty). He is a chunk, but he'll run it off later. And no, he's not so big that we couldn't button his shirt, we were just lazy : )
Dada made a vase from a water jug for Carrie's Valentine's flowers. Juan Carlos picked them up for us - maybe we can get used to this driver thing! The top of the jug made a hat perfectly sized for Pickle.
