STP 2013 Northern South America: The Arrival. I write this as I sit in my hotel room in Caracas. I arrived late last night or early this morning depending on how you look at it. The flights were fine but it was a long day. Sometime this afternoon I’ll be meeting up with the rest of the STP crew, but in the meantime, I’m on my own. I don’t have too much else to report at this point but stay tuned for more from Venezuela, Colombia, and Ecuador.
