Record Guinness-Day 2

Definitely, my fibro caught up with me. Maybe the adrenaline rush I've felt for the past few days gave me the necessary boost to endure all the hard moments related to the massive event we were part of. But now back home, chilling out and getting back to my routine, my fibro struck back and I feel like crap, only physically, because I'm still excited and happy. Also, today is my little sister's birthday so, another reason to celebrate.

Day 2.

We got up at 6:00 am, like we were instructed. My sister and I went down by 7 o'clock to find some coffee to wake up because, with only two hours of sleep, we were zombies.

Luckily I know the area, I lived in Caracas for 8 years so I still remember some stuff, like this one: next to the hotel there's a bakery and there we found our well-deserved cup of coffee.

When we got back we received our breakfast, a Ham and Cheese Whole Wheat Sandwich with Orange Juice.

I was hungry so I didn't take any pictures, in fact, we didn't record all the meals, and too late I came to realize that I would need some of that, especially after there are some people saying that the meals were awful.

Anyway, we left the hotel around 8:00 am to the place of the event, the Patio of the Military Academy of Venezuela, a little far from the hotel mostly because of the traffic on the freeway at that time of the day, but we made good time, in 30 minutes we were in Los Proceres, a historic landmark of my country, then the good stuff began.

An endless line of buses was already there dropping off the different delegations and we just had to wait, there was no getting around that. Also, there were several stations distributed and we had to go through them to be able to finally enter the Patio.

The first one was food: lunch, and snacks which consisted of more elaborate and bigger sandwiches, with juices, fruits, and cookies, I got a Chicken Sandwich and a BLT, Tangerines and Bananas, Apple Juice and Chocolate Chip Cookies.

After that, there was the water station, where each and every one of us got a big bottle of water, 1.5 liters each bottle. Then the medical station, Sun Block, and K95 masks, to get to the final station where we were separated by instruments and go through a Check Point, where we had to give our ID number to see if we were on the database, and after approval, we got our Block and Section, I was on Block 2 Section AL Road T4.

Now, we are talking about over twelve thousand musicians, so the wait was long, but I got to see the bathrooms, portable of course, but there were 60 units on both sides of the patio, 6 medical stations, ambulances, gurneys, and repair and accessories tents. Over one hundred guides were walking around the roads distributing alcohol and antibacterial gel, also picking up the empty trays from the lunches and snacks.

Finally, the rehearsal started at 2:30 pm and we got to test the several big screens that were distributed around the patio with the purpose of us being able to see the conductors. We had two 45 minutes breaks and in the final round, we did the general rehearsal as the program and protocol stated. At 6:00 pm we were finished.

The exit was more troublesome than the entry, I'll tell you, I've been in many massive events but never in one like this, I can't begin to imagine what the organizing committee had to go through to do this, it's just so many people!

We found our buses and then received our dinner, a Burger with French Fries and Iced Tea, and some pastries. Upon arriving at the hotel, we had a complimentary dinner, Arepa with several fillings and CocaCola. I was exhausted and didn't wait for that, I went upstairs, showered, and went to bed.

Saturday was going to be worse, but also, the moment of truth, the final event, the official attempt to break the Guinness Record.
