Venezuela, Caribbean, Dian Curtis Regan
Sunrise from my window.
For three years, I lived in Puerto La Cruz, Venezuela. The best parts:

*My view of the Caribbean Sea from Rebecca Suites.



*Creme Brulee at Babilonia and Floating Islands at the Yellow Deli.

*Meeting fun expatriates from all over the world. (You know who you are . . .)

*Getting to know the students and staff at three International schools.

Visit two of the schools:

Presentation of the "Dian Curtis Regan Library" plaque from Sally Hefley, director
The nicest thing that happened to me in Venezuela was finding out that Escuela de las Americas was moving into a new location, building a beautiful library, and dedicating it to me. I am truly honored to know there is a 
Dian Curtis Regan Library somewhere in the world.

I've heard it said that people come into our lives for a reason, bringing something we must learn.  

And we are led to those who help us most to grow--if we let them--and we help them in return. 

I wish I could have said, before we parted: so much of me is made of what I learned from you.

You'll be with me 
like a handprint on my heart. 

Sally Hefley
1938 ~ 2009
