A third world Paradise: Querepare
Hello Everybody!
Long time since my last post... but I've been isolated in one of the most beautiful, magical and special places I've ever seen. Querepare! A little village by the Caribean sea, with an empty incredible beach. We had running water half a day every two days; light only from time to time (you knew it coz' you could listen high volume 'Bayenato' while the electricity was working); no drinking water and no shops or bars to buy any other drinking stuff... No beds for all of us, and that meant sleeping on a Chinchorro.
But there were Mangos, Cocos, Mararabes, Caña de Azucar, the sea, the incredible children, the people living in poor houses offering you food everyday. There were "tetas" - boobs - which were home made icecreams, Juan bringing Arepas and Galetas in the morning. There were Cacoa in all shorts: fresh, dry, toasted, processed, home-processed... And there were this marine monster called Letherback Marine Turtles (Tortugas Cardón). All this and that made it worthy.
There is no pics yet... but hope I can upload some soon. The turtles are scared of light... so I could not take any of the big ones... but I recorded them breathing while nesting... and, at least to me, it is impressive! That is going to be the night pic of them.
There are so many things I could say about the days in the beach... but they will bore you to death, or I'll make you really jealous. One of the two... and I will not be able to tell you everything, anyway. Those back in Leon... check with Bea, she will explain it a little bit better... the others... the others... well... get a plane and come to the beach!
Appart from that, I am enjoying the fantastic way the people from Venezuela is treating me. Aurelio & Zoe, Emigdio & Family, and Helios & Adriana had made me feel so much welcome that I am speechless most of the time. I have only slept in Posadas back in Mochima (went diving again... saw a huge "chucho"!!!!!!!!!!!!! and a pez Murcielago... but not the kind of batfish that were in the GBR) and Puerto de la Cruz. Appart from that, everybody lodges me in their house. Great!!!!!!!!! So much like being at home! Great great feeling! I am so much thankful to all of them.
Mochima... beautiful... lovely beaches...
Caracas... Crazy... not as dangerous as they said... but not 100% safe. Helios made it easy to move around!!!
Merida... Bohemian... and green. This is were I am now. With Emigdio, Victor and Gabriela. I arrived this morning and I will stay for a few days here, before going back to Caracas to fly to Lima on the 9th (new change of dates... I needed two extra days to be able to visit Merida!).
Hope you are all happy happy, and that the summer sun is tanning your skins (some of you might be red, by now!). I am going to see the Germany-Italy extra time... and join the winning party afterwards!
Un beso para todos... y el mundial... por lo que parece nos eliminaron... no me lo explico... en serio... no me lo explico... crei que este año ibamos a ganar... y yo trankilito en Querepare esperando para salir y ver la final... y fijate tu... bueno... no me lloren mucho... sean felices y cuidense mucho con la sangria veraniega y las barbacoas nocturnas! Pensare mucho en ustedes!
Ciao ciao,
