OK, real post, sort of, though still not a whole lot of content. A few people have asked about where Mérida is, so - here it is! Mérida is in the Northern part of Venezuela (West by NW, I suppose). It is near the top of the Andes, just South of Lake Maracaibo. Even though it is pretty close to the equator, the altitude keeps the climate reasonable - a little on the warm side, but not too bad if you aren't spending your days splitting wood or working in attics. 5,348 ft - as a point of reference, Denver is at 5,280 ft (close) & Minneapolis is at 830 ft (not so close).I suppose though...
I really should be doing homework now. I've got a few more pages of Hume to get through before I can call it a day (philo major, remember?). Interesting stuff even if some parts seem to be way off the mark (some of what he wrote is great, I'm not arguing against that, but other times, well, wow). I'm just not in the right frame of mind for it right now.
Que lastima - ¡Hasta luego!
