This weekend I had the pleasure of going to Maracay and La Victoria. I came very pleased and pleasantly surprised even though the lightning was the ride. A Maracay had crossed only in passing but this time the journey was almost complete, for the reason that led me there forced him. With a center
crowded and queues that have nothing to envy to the ones here, let me Maracay surprises around every corner, including how clean it is, the presence of security forces in the streets and avenues, advanced as cleaning the electoral propaganda the election of the 2D and people who seem to live in another country (typically the interior). Malls large and bright and queues to enter their parking worthy of Sambil. A party atmosphere latent because that night they played the Aragua Tigers and radios and televisions, with the transmission of the game, saw and heard everywhere. But mainly two things left me totally overwhelmed, the first ... the traffic lights take forever to change (or is it because I'm used to the speed of life here?) and saw each marramucia corner of fright and jumped to or tell them! Besides the problem of motor is the same as here. Not go into this, but really I was speechless. The second thing that completely overwhelmed me, is the meticulous attention to the places I went. I went to a restaurant where I found playground (without being a fast food chain on which we all know) , automated bathrooms (sink and all) clean (impeccably) and GOOD CARE! It was an incredible experience for me than eating live on the street and I get my daily dose of rudeness on the plate that I bring to the table. I'm happy for those surprises came. But the ride was just beginning and then get the hell to The Victoria
... We got there at 11 pm on Friday, without reservation, but straight to a hotel that Edward had known since childhood: Hacienda El Recreo . There were no rooms available, but the receptionist took pains to help us get somewhere else and seeing that his efforts were in vain and the presence of Charlie asleep in my arms finally gave us a charge before becoming the manager who called for request authorization. We were so tired
not particularly I noticed my surroundings. Until the next morning, as well early, listened to the scandal wonderful songs of all colors. Carlitos was so amazed and frightened (not like the songs of the macaws) . I got up and when I opened the window ... God ... my eyes could not believe their eyes! It was really nice to wake up with that friíto, singing birds, sunlight sneaking sheepishly in the trees, one green and the smell of earth, forest and a coffee!
References had to The Victoria were to be set high expectations. Eduardo paternal family hails from these dollars. However, taking into account the source of I should save my references came from serious reservations. It is a small, clean, main streets and avenues that surround it are not perfect but in very good condition. In the side streets there are works in progress and others lack a darling. Many residential and commercial projects in progress, others partially delivered and operated or occupied, as appropriate. The center of the city particularly clean although there are those pesky peddlers, the well-preserved colonial facades, very pretty, with cobbled streets, plates particularly important information on historical sites and what they represent for residents and visitors. I came fascinated . The restaurants in which I, excellent, no frills in its facilities, well-received careful attention, cleanliness and quality in the food and services. I could not get to know the train station in the Council, he had a private event. Just at Santa Teresa and La Quebradita. But are they working for locals and visitors on weekends and in the short run that saw them we are very well maintained.
Do note? The thrill of Eduardo to take to the ice cream which led him to him when he was old Carlitos and find it still there. Has 47 years of existence, owners are the same, an Italian couple, who prepare their pretty little ice cream right there since. They are still the same machines, the same announcement, it seems that the time had stopped there. To me, I do not like ice cream, I had to please Eduardo testing the Nougat ... I confess that I liked it a lot! Not a place at full blast, but preserves the flavor of the past.
Another Note: The ice cream, called "The Play" course, there is an old scale that seems to tell you after you eat ice cream: "Tell me and I'll tell you how much you weigh Who You Are " jejejeje.
I kept wanting more. The towns and cities in this country are all individuals. Its people and their lives completely different incomparable with each other because each is" else. "That together, form the common-place that sets us apart: the friendliness and hospitality infinite Come ezol year (though we are a disaster giving directions) and beauty, beauty anywhere, everywhere you look, ... I turn around to where I come from people once again embrace my theory: If you want to go to another country without dollars no passport, leave Caracas.
Take a weekend ... is near and how to get out of this world.
traveling Besos!
