- confusing my host father's work thinking he was an avacado farmer when he was a lawyer in fact he was a judge for 35 years prosecuting hard criminals and 1/2 my size
- meeting Gabby, a Rotary exchange student who spent last year in CAMDEN MAINE and she loves the COLD and MAINE of course
- visiting a mercado libre, a local public market with fish, meat, vegetables, fruit, spices, cheese, clothes and empanadas. I took a photo of a tray of cow eyeballs for sale that you cook for a soup........yikes!
- visiting Hacienda Sainta Theresa, famous for its RUM. Oh my goodness! We had a tour of this grand estate and then they gave us enormous mugs of rum. I bought 3 bottles for home, an orange cognac, a white rum for mohitos and an amber rum for sippinig
- National Park of Morrocoy in the boat with 13 others visiting small cayos (bays) and lots of beaches
- eating ceviche (fish cured in lime with onions, cilantro and tomato) from a boat
- eating raw oysters off the back of the boat all brought to you by young men in motor boats
- snorkelling and seeing OODLES of fish and watching a small spotted moray eel make its way across the bottom of the coral reef for about 15 minutes
- the motor boat AIRBORN literally completely OUT of the water engines, propellers and all on our way too and from the dock
- seeing a caiman (alligator) in port
- staying with Rotarians in La Victoria that have a sweeping view of their sweet city. Their daughter Claudia has the sex appeal of Drew Barrymore (as does her mama). The floors are all marble with grand entrances, a room with a bar and seating that feels like a night club and FUN are they ever Fun. Antonio is the retired VP from Fiat Venezuela
- meeting their fellow Rotary friends, Belgians that moved to Venezuela 6 years ago because they preferred a life with more leisure. Their job is importing and exporting wild animals around the world.
Ciao, Georgie
