Venezuela?
Anybody ever been there? Ya, I know it's not Baja. But I met the most beautiful girl in the world and she lives there. And I'm hoping she will live
with me in Baja some day.

Well, that's my backup plan.
But I'd much prefer this lady if she'll have me.

What's your point, fishy? Yeah. Venezuela is an exciting, vibrant, modern country. But, if your hoping to have this senorita live with you in Baja,
what possible information would you need from us?

Yes. I went when I was 22 back in 89-90. Unbelievably beautiful country with unbelievably beautiful people. I was broken hearted and trying to get as
far away from people as I could. I brought $80 and a backpack and I did OK. When I came back I went into a depression wondering why I came home. I've
been aching to go back to Venezuela.
Fishbuck,
Go there. You will not regret it. It is truly beautiful.

Okay wood. Does anyone know what the differences are between Baja culture and Venezuela culture.
I talked to her on the phone and the spanish sounds different.
More like italian I guess. Maybe more european sounding.

Well, I know there is atleast one astonishingly beautiful lady there!
She has agreed to come here so I'm not sure if I'll make it there. I would like to. Lots of beaches. My kind of place.

Very formal, in dress and language. It is very European with some Portuguese. I was laughed out of Caracas with my Flojo sandals, tank top and Baja
slang. Big no-no.

Bingo. I don't want this to sound condescending, but as far as language goes, Mexico is viewed within Latin America as somewhat of a low-life. Aside
from the obvious Portugese influence and language in Brazil, South America is much more European in culture than is Mexico.

Go... best of lucks... just watch out for "Mr. Potato Head" Hugo Chavez...
They speak Spanish just like Mexicans. In fact, of all Spanish speaking American countries, Venezuela and Mexico are the two that sound most alike...

Hey Bucky!
I lived in Venezuela from 1950 to 1963 (when we came to the US). It really is gorgeous country there, not unlike many parts of mainland Mexico. We
lived in Caracas, Macuto and Puerto Azul. During my 13 years of being there, when the public did not like a president, he was killed by someone. I
lived through 5 presidential deaths (if I can remember right).
A good portion of repeat Miss Universe winners have been from Venezuela.

The price of gasoline today in Venezuela is 12 cents (US) per gallon, and there is good fishing offshore. A lot of wind and rough seas, however. It
would probably require a bigger boat than mine, but saving a hundred dollars or so a day on fuel......... Cheap gas, good fishing and beautiful
women. Go for it, Fishbuck.
