Venezuela will always be a part of me and I will carry found memories of the many Venezuelan friends who have only ever been kind to me! The few "bad" ones are easily forgotten as they are not the *real* Venezuela you and i remember!

As the Venezuela we both once knew. It is sad that you have to leave us now, specially counting that I wasn't a decision you took. A foreigner asked me a few days ago if I recomend him to visit Venezuela and at this point, I didn't know what to answer. Hope you can come back at least in your memories and you can take with yourself for others that sees my country as something far and distant a much more real image of Venezuela. But it is not worth to be attached forever, things change, people change and the wheel of time cannot be turned back. I'm not expecting to see my country as it once were, that's an impossible dream and we are not living in a Bambi world. But as a "not-bambi" woman, I do hope at least one thing, among others: That my country can be able to welcome the foreigners with open arms and the typical comment "you are almost Venezuelan.." as it used to be. <BR/>Until then, I'll keep writting, and will keep remembering. Not good bye, but Hasta luego!!!memememehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14006778786293964348noreply@blogger.com
