| I hired a car and drove to the Andes. The final destination was La Peurta, but we also visited La Laguinita, which is higher up in the Mountains. |
|
| This meant it was cold. Really cold At leat 17c. Freezing! I had to chuckle at how cold it was for the visiting venezuelans. They were realy not used to it. I think La Laguinita is the biggest market for warm gloves, you know, the never-get-used-again kind. | |
La Puerta is the place to be around Carnival time. Carnival is the sequence of
public holidays and a weekend that makes for a 5 day national holiday. It also coincides
with the end of classes for schools and universities. Just like schoolies wek in Adelaide
where everybody piles into a car and trashes Victor Harbour, the same goes for La Puerta.
Coming from the conservative city Maracaibo, I was pleasently surprised to see the young people here were not copies of there parents. They wore t-shirts from metal bands, where drinking alot of beer and were generally more like the young people I am used to. |
