We left Mexico city airport late, the flight to Caracas was full and the airplane had problems with the gas pump. What got
me utterly annoyed and angry, was the fact that they took my carry-on luggage and passed it through as checked luggage. The
whole airport was closed, and the only thing moving was our gate, which was overflowing with people, very anxious people.
The plane left at around 1:20 am and it was a 5 hour flight direct to Caracas.
After the plane took off, one of the men in front of us left to somewhere else, not sure where, and my dad went to the seat
in front of us, leaving an empty chair for me and my mom to share well, my mom took that chair for her as she lay down in
those two seats and half of mine. So I fell asleep for most part of that flight, uncomfortable of course, but woke up just
in time to see the awesome skies and the city of Caracas before landing.
We landed there at about 7:30, I was in a horrible mood, other than the fact because the lack of sleep, and the luggage, it
was also the people I was surrounded by. So we waited a long time for the luggage as well, until it, at last, came out.
So yes, you got me here in a bad mood, as well as carrying a million suitcases, and above all that, my dad joking around and
messing with me. We get outside and we meet with my dads choffer. He takes us to his car which isnt very far away, and well,
closes the trunk on my head. All of this getting me angrier and angrier. After this, my dad has the great idea to keep joking
around and making fun of me, I approach him, and it felt as if something else took over my body and I knee my dad right behind
his knee, making him almost fall down, he turns around and punches me in the arm. Well I just went to the co-pilots side
of the car, and sat there quiet till I got home and just fell asleep, proving that I am not a morning person, or that if Im
sleepy, I will be in a bad mood.
One of the bridges connecting the city to the airport collapsed, and the previous week, 2 cars had fallen down unaware of
it. The bridge has been out since January, and plans of rebuilding it go until August of next year, it has been a great inconvenience
to the whole city.

Monday:
Went out with Caro to El Tolon Mall, we were supposed to go see a movie at around 7ish, when we got there well, she got there
late the tickets were sold out, but that was ok.
We ended up just walking around the mall talking and hanging out. We found in an icecream store our other friend from highschool,
who I havent seen in years, Carina. The three of us just hung out at the mall, went to the food court and had dinner there
as well, and pretty much stayed there till a little after the mall closed at 9 pm.
After there I went directly to my cousin Luis house where we met up with other cousins and their girlfriends. After meeting
there, we all directed ourselves to pick-up Daniels girlfriend, who ended up being in a hotel. I know it might sound odd,
but she was at this club on top of the hotel. We went directly to an Arepera right after that, just talking and joking around,
just being the ol crazy, awesome selfs.
