Trip

I'll be going to Venezuela in about a month. And for the most part I will be staying with my cousins in Merida. For those of you who don't know about Merida check out this link Merida. I come from Cambimas which is a freaking dump compared to Merida. I will also probably be visiting Magarita Island. The one thing about Venezuela is that everything is dirt freaking cheap. Well not everything, but food and gas. They are a top exporter of petroleum. Funny thing though, at some refineries they simply burn off the natural gas in pertoleum because they have no use for it. What a waste. Apparently beer is cheaper than water(50 cents a bottle), which I guess is the reason everyone always seems to be driking beer. Margarita Island is the big tourist spot in Venezuela and for carribean cruise ships here are some photos. I'll be taking plenty of pictures and uploading to the blog during my stay. All you have to know about Venezuela is to stay out of the capital, Caracas. That is were all the violent protests are. Lucklily I'll be nowhere near there.
