So, I decided I had to go see a total solar eclipse. Then I mentioned it to a friend in San Francisco, who put me in touch with this guy in Venezuela. About a week before the eclipse, I finally book my tickets (Travelocity), and Oscar (the guy in Venezuela, or "cool guy" as we now refer to him) met me at the airport.

"I have bad news," Oscar told me when I got off the plane, "there are no hotel rooms, so you'll have to stay with my family and me."

Already a good omen.

That's Oscar on the left.

So I stayed the week with Oscar's family, and they were really warm and gracious hosts - I was incredibly fortunate to run into him - once again, hurray for the internet, and thank you to the Salazars.
