... the purpose? When I started http://beignetsycafeconleche.blogspot.com/ I did not have a clear purpose and wanted to write whatever came to my mind. ... In this one I will try to talk about travelling and food, places I have visited, or something related to such visit, ...

Even though I was born and raised in Venezuela, one of the most beautiful and incredible countries in the world (...for me, anyway ...!) I have lived out for quite a few years now.

Ahh! ... even though the other blog was written in spanish, this one will be in english ... I need to practice! ... (... but of course, I will probably slip a few phrases or words in spanish ... let's see how this goes! ...
To finish this, let me show you an old picture of one of my favorite places in venezuela. The picture was taken by the great U.S. naturalist William Beebe and it appears in his book "High Jungle."
