Independence Day- Venezuelan Style

Happy Independence Day to all of my Venezuelan friends!  Maybe you read yesterday's blog and thought there was nothing I like about Venezuela.  That's not true, so in honor of Venezuelan Independence Day, here's my top favorite things about Venezuela:
Pavbellion- a delicious dish consisting of black beans, rice, shredded seasoned beef, and plantains.  yuuummm.
Arepas- kind of like corn bread stuffed with meat or cheese
Empanadas (not everyday, but good none the less)- fried dough stuffed with some sort of meat
Batidos- blended fruit drinks
Walking more places
Cheap, delicious bread at all the bakeries
A fantastic exchange rate, even if we do have to exchange on the black market...
No huge temperature fluctuations
Mountains
Beaches
Greeting everyone with a hug and kiss on the cheek
A great view from my apartment window
People who are willing to sit and talk to you about spiritual things for a long time
Speaking Spanish
Having friends from all over the world
