Made in Venezuela!







Hi!

Let's talk about Venezuelan things!

We had so many adventurers so far, in the beginning the adventurers were challenges, but now we call it adventurers, yes, we passed the challenge season, now we are living the Venezuelan things! Live is better than dream about it!
You know, life is full of surprises, sometimes is a tsunami, sometimes is just a cool breeze, but in the end are surprises after all!

So, I decide to share with you, my dear reader, the Venezuelan things, the challenges which were transformed in adventurers!

In the beginning when we had no Bolivares, we waited and waited, now we ask to a friend! It's strange, I know, how can you have no Bolivares? This is a long story,....maybe one day I can tell you. But believe me, all the foreign people has the same problem, but I should say, the same adventurer!??? Last Monday we had to buy a airplane ticket to Caracas about (270 Bolivares) 30 dollars (ONLY!!!) and we didn't have Bolivares, so we asked it to a friend! Problem solved with gratitude, laughs and more laughs,..... maybe in the end of the week we will have Bolivares!!!!!!!!

In the gas station we had no money but we had coins! Just 4 coins! We bought 36 liters (9.5 gallons) of gas! Problem solved with a lot, a lot of laughs!
Can you image yourself buying gas with 4 coins? We spent about 40 cents of a dollar!

Our security gate always break, we have 4 gates, one day Victoria complained about it. She said:"one day one gate is fixed another day the other one is broken"! Well, I said:"here we have surprises every day, isn't that amazing? Can you guess what's come tomorrow? " Problem solved with laughs and a positive point of view!

Here, in the land of surprises, the challenges have to be transformed in adventurers, we need a very positive point of view, a open heart, a good humor and lots of faith!

Adventures are made in Venezuela, a lot of them, we just need be ready to jump in, enjoy and learn!
So far so good!

Miss you all, with much love,

G, V, V & O.

Saving the napkin!

Hi dear readers, Since a long time, buying things in planet Venezuela is a challenge, but now we are facing the worst  time ever! Some time ago a friend mentioned that in the future, because of the lack of food, we will have to eat soap!!!! Ironically, I can't find my favorite soap!!! Another day a friend suggested me to cut the paper napkin in half, because is hard to find napkins too! So, in the afternoon we cut the napkins! WOW! What can I say? No comments, just trying my best in saving, cutting, stocking, all kind of things. Even with this situation, we are good, we always have food on the table thank God, for the soap, we started using hotel soap we brought from our trip to Hawaii years ago! Every time we travel we bring food, soap, and now the newest product in our list is the toilet paper! LOL It's ridiculous to have to buy toilet paper in another Country, but what can we do????? From almost 3 & 1/2 years ago until now we are having the same problems, even wit...

Hi dear readers, Our little adopted kitty "Bebe" inspired me to write this post. I noticed the little kitty who lives in our backyard is very alert about the beautiful and colorful birds flying from tree to tree in our garden. Every time the birds land in our trees they sing, and the kitty starts looking and planning how to get the yummy bird. This week I saw the little cat very alert about the birds but without success in capturing her lunch! But today around noon, our little cat finally conquered her mission, she had a beautiful yellow bird, she brought the unlucky bird to our door and with her best pose and showed us that her mission was accomplished with  pride and glory! Poor bird, glorious cat!  That's life, if we ignore the dangerous that surrounds us maybe someone get luck with our lack of care. If we don't pay attention to life maybe we will pay a huge price for our lack of responsibility. If we don't see the "signs" maybe we will  be lo...

Hello dear readers, Today I woke up inspired to write this post. I was thinking about the tragedies our world is facing, also about the sadness, the corruptions, the lies, all the terrible attitudes that human beings can have if they do not have moral, principles, conscious and love to share. Why is the world is like that? Why did the world became a hard place to be, why did the moral and good manners became jokes, neglected and are not being seen as the most precious treasure? Here in planet Venezuela, things are worse than ever, the lack of food and other goods are making people crazy. There are lines everywhere to find the basics, there are soldiers with heavy guns all over the cities, the grocery stores are closed to regular clients, only  people who stand in lines can buy the  products that the government allows to sell, these products are controlled  by the government, they control the price and the quantity  that each person can buy. For example they sol...
