Bye Venezuela, Hello Holland!
First off, you guys probably already noticed something happened because of my last post and yes, there is some stuff on my mind that I need to get straight in my head first before I am going to post about it on my blog, some stuff happened and I got really upset about it. At this moment I am unsure of how to respond exactly and I don’t think right now is the moment to word my thoughts and write about it because they are most definitely not going to be very nice for sure right now. I am not a person to keep my mouth shut but its also not in my intention to hurt others while venting my own thoughts, so I have decided to think about it for a little longer first, although I have my doubts that I can say anything nice about this at all ever without being a liar. So much of that, on to the next subject….
Today we visited for the last time this vacation a mall here in Caracas. We went back to the first mall we went because I had seen a dress there and I really liked it, just didn’t buy it because I thought it was a little expensive. The store we where yesterday didn’t had the shoes I liked in my size so I wanted to look for shoes too. Well I went into a store where they had a great sale n bought a bunch of shirts that where priced down 60%. I tried on a few pair of shoes but although they where nice n where fitting me I was not as thrilled about them as I was about the pair I had tried on the other day. Then we went to find the store where I saw the dress. Antonio’s mom remembered where the store was but they changed the window completely and the dress was not on any of the mannequins anymore. So I was not sure if that really was the store and we looked up one floor higher there was only restaurants and fast food corners there so we went another up. . Did not found the store there and went back down where we gave KFC a third and last try to serve me some hotwings. That resulted in a major disappointment because once again for the third time in three weeks of vacation they had NO hotwings. It is on the menu though and they should have it but they ran out O.o. Well a few stands further was the subways. We had tried to order there the new chicken bacon ranch melt sub before but t that time they had no chicken so we gave that another try… Again they had no chicken O.o
Seriously I don’t get it if that’s just my bad luck or they are just badly stocked up. Anyways we ordered the chicken bacon ranch melt just replaced the chicken with turkey. whew they did had turkey. Although it was not the same, the chicken are pieces of grilled chicken and the turkey is slices of cooked turkey, and they didnt had the honey mustard dressing, the sub tasted good and filled my tummy. Anarosa’s tummy too because when I offered her a bite from my sub, she grabbed it and that was the end of my lunch LOL.
After lunch we went back down a floor to go to the store where Antonio’s mom thought the dress was. We went inside and I tried on some dresses. I liked them and they where ok but the first one made me look shorter, the second one was ok just would liked it better in a different color, and then finally the third one was the dress I had seen. It was more expensive but it looked better on me then the other two. So after Anarosa managed to lock the changing room and I had to crawl under the doors (thank goodness there was about 50/60 cm space) to get back in because she wouldn’t or couldn’t open it anymore, I could change back into my own clothes n give it another thought. back into my own clothes I had made up my mind. That dress is comming with me to Holland 🙂 yay!! After that we just went home because Anarosa had enough of shopping for one day.
We where just in time home to see two f14 or f16 (I’m no expert) dive down into the city to fly up again right after they fly really low over the buildings. We where quite surprised about this and the tv gave an explanation of it when we had it turned on. It was some propaganda about Chavez with a lil airshow to go with the event. It looked pretty cool and I took pictures and made a video with my camera. I don’t feel like downloading them, checking them, editing them so they are fit for my blog and uploading them right now so you will have to wait till I am back home for that. With some luck I’ll do that on Sunday or maybe on Saturday. We’ll see about that.
Tomorrow we are traveling back to Holland, I’m glad we are going home although we had a good time here. I’m gonna miss the nice weather and wish I could take some of that with me, together with a small beach just for us and a pool aside of it, just so I could pull some sun out of my pocket whenever I feel the need to relax and get a nice soft tan on my skin while the soft wind keeps me cool, to take a dive in the warm (not too warm) pool, swim a few lanes and return to my beach bed to relax again and read my book while the sun does his job. The malls here I might miss too except for the fact that I don’t understand a word they say (its all Spanish) and that some of the malls are too full of people. I’ll miss Anarosa running up to her uncle and being happy when he’s back home, and the fun she had here, but at home there’s gonna be fun and laughter too again :). The traffic is really crazy here especially the bikers. So I most certainly won’t miss that. Every time when we where going to places and those bikers pass us full speed in between other cars from the right and the left I was worried that they would cause an accident. I missed my oldest daughter, the dutch language, my dutch friends, my work and my own home. I missed my dutch food, my own cooking (although Antonio’s mom is absolutely not a bad cook and me not a pro LOL and we ate often in restaurants) my couch and my bed. My stomach that gave me so much pain and trouble completely went at ease in the first few days when we arrived here so the medication worked great :). I will try not to stress so much again but heck I always worry about everything so I’m afraid its in my blood and hope that at least my husband and kids will understand now that when I say I need a break that I really need a break LOL. I’m again a lil nervous about the flight but it will be all right I’m sure.
Laters all!
