Classes started at 9 and everyone was still tired. As Karen for the class started I sat with Alex’s nephew Audys and we talked about the crisis in Venezuela. A good number of Alex’s fakilybwas living in Venezuela but because of politic turmoil in their country they’ve relocated here. Millions of Venezuelans have fled their country to avoid starvation and unimaginable violence. Overall they are welcome here, as the Colombians remember 30 years ago how they had to seek refuge in Venezuela to escape Pablo Escobar and the drug war happening in Colombia. It’s a tragic situation that we hardly here about in the US. Our media doesn’t focus on it much and they definitely to mention the US government’s role in the turmoil. I learned a lot today. Classes and our convonwere cut short at 11 because it was time to go on our tour to Palenque.
