And Suddenly A Snowy Day in Rotterdam

A few weeks ago out of nowhere we had a little snow storm here in Rotterdam, luckily I had my small camera with me so I made some photos. Here are the ones that I liked the most, I hope you like them and enjoy them :) 

My Grandma's Cat

On my recent trip to Venezuela I got to meet my grandma's new pet, which is a cat. To be honest I'm not really a cat person but this cat was actually funny and it really made me and my family laugh a lot. What was so funny about him is that usually we see how in cartoons and movies, cats are portrayed as haters of being showered or water in general. However, this cat had a peculiar way of drinking water. He would stand next to the tap for someone to let the water run and so he would drink water and at the same he could splash water to his face. The other funny thing that this cat would do, was to hide inside of a box and when someone passed in front of it, he would jump out and reached your legs. We all got really scared when this caught us by surprise but it sure made us laugh a lot as well. I took some photos of this peculiar cat and I hope you get to meet him a little and enjoy the photos as well :)

Simply Venezuela

    Whenever someone asks me where I'm from, I put a huge smile on my face and answer with excitement Venezuela. I love my country and the people in it are amazin. They are always so welcoming, happy, hard workers, helpful whenever others need from them and between each other, dreamers, friendly, and many other things but if I keep on listing the post would be too long. After two years and a half without going to my country (the longest period I've had) I finally had the amazing opportunity to be with my family and friends for christmas and new years eve. As any other trip I took many photos, however, this time there were mostly about my family and friends. I picked some of those that showed just very little of Venezuela and decided to shared them here with all of you. I would like to point out that the pictures I'm posting are not showing the most beautiful touristic sights of Venezuela. I want to show these pictures because although Venezuela has an amazing potential for tourism and many landscapes to show the world, this is not something that is being promoted and taken care of. Venezuela has been for many years bad ruled by just a few and people are going through a difficult time. Many people live in poverty and don't have the right to have a good health care, basic necessities for the everyday and the food is not always what they want or need (for example, not everyday a person can find milk, sugar or salt in the supermarket). I never made a post like this before but I believe, just like the majority of Venezuelans, that we can do much better and have the potential to be a rich and beautiful country; so I thought it was worth to share this with all of you. This October coming we have presidential elections and hopefully we can finally stand up and let better years begin. Here are the photos and well I hope you all like them :)

For the month of December some of trees that are in the street are decorated with lights to give the city a special look for the festive days.

This is an "arepa" and this is the most typical food for us (in my opinion) and the one most people eat. So far to all the people that me and my mom have let try this dish, they all like it very much. Is like a bread for us and basically you can put anything you'll like in it.
