In the way to Caripe!








These pictures are from our trip to Caripe - a small town in the mountains.

Did you ever heard someone saying that arrive in some place is not so important than enjoy the trip, enjoy the time until you got there?

That's so true in this case!!!!!!!!!!!

We went to Caripe with high expectations, .... we though the place should be a cute little town, with flowers, gorgeous cottages, nice views, wonderful food,.... anyway,.... you were so disappointed, the place is the opposite about we though. I have no words to describe in a nice way the city Caripe! So, better not to describe!

But, in the way to Caripe, we found so many interesting things and views.
First were the beautiful mountains, powerful, strong blue green mountains surrounding us all the way to the not so cute Caripe, then the funny and interesting sites,....... one was the street lights turned on in the middle of the day in a country which has no 24/7 electricity!!!!!!!!!!! Then we saw a unique bus, very colorful, maybe the colors of hope, colors for happier days in the not so fun place! Also we saw a gorgeous landscape, water and mountains welcoming us, reminding us about important and durable things!
In the middle of the way to Caripe we found people who are trying to survive the not so easy Venezuelan situation, in the middle of nowhere there was a "store" by the highway selling girls dresses, and then we think about choices we have in life........ try or not try!!!!

We were so alert in the way to Caripe, after every curve, we want to find a surprise, and we found so many things to think about, to be thankful for!

The best in a journey is the time we spend during the journey, when we reach the final step the journey is over and so the opportunity to learn!
In the way to not so cute Caripe, we had a great journey, we found treasures to keep it and to share it!

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...
