Merida, Venezuela (where I'm going!) was founded in 1558 by Juan Rodriguez Suarez, who was from Colombia. The town was actually under Colombian jurisdiction until 1777 when Merida became a part of Venezuela. The city's official name is La Ciudad de los Caballeros de Merida" which basically translates to "Merida, the City of Gentlemen."
I'm going to a city that's over 400 years old!
Anne gets back two weeks from tomorrow!
