What is Pabellion and Pepitos?

What is the price of gas there...surely cheaper than here ($2.07 or so for regular at a cheaper station)?

And, I am sure the weather and beaches are to die for!!

And, you are definitely to be praised for the prayers for the "king"!

I sense some nostalgia here! The flag is beautiful, but not as pretty as the good ol' USA!!! Aren't Pepitos the sandwiches you all love withthe caca sauce? What is a Pebellion?

There sure is a long list of things you love about Venezuela. I'd love to go there and see these things you speak of sometime.

I'm sure the weather us beautiful!! I would love to see the country you all love so much!!

And it's something to be admired to pray for those who don't deserve it! (but if I think about it...that'd just about be everyone! LOL)^_^

The cheap gas could be the straw that breaks the camel's back. When prices dropped the Soviet Union found that they could not continue to subsidize their population but you can't take entitlements away. So the government fell. Chavez, and Iran, are both playing the same game.

Pam, yes Pepitos are the steak sandwiches we like with Guasa cac sauce! And Beth descrubed Paballon, but here in Lara we put a fried egg on top!

Beth, you really like arepas!!

Jackie, you poor thing! Now everyone will want to know what hallacas , tajadas , and cachitos are!

Rita Loca said...

Pat, gas costs, hmm... I'm kind of afraid to tell you all! It might cause a riot! ALMOST 10 cents a gallon.

Monti, So good to hear from you all. It could still be a few years before the book is a reality, since you are reading, I'll have to start posting all my MAF stories!!!
