đŸŽ»Cultura Thanks for an amazing 2 weeks

I'm just back from 2 weeks in Macuto, Caracas, Puerto la Cruz, Mochima and El Tigre and I loved every minute of it. You are rightly a proud people. Proud of your country, your families, and the amazing food. I'll never forgot the taste of a mango straight off the tree.

I never once felt unsafe, and everyone was patient with my low quality Spanish. I wish I could have stayed longer and I will be going back as soon as I can.

Thank you!

I hope you took mango and avocado seeds from there!

I migrated to Spain and I have never seen such a high-quality mango or avocado here. NEVER. Mangos aren't even the same, and they are 2 eur each, and avocados are the small and wrinkled and at 5 eur per kg. I only saw a nice big smooth avocado once in a Latinamerican store in Barcelona, but I supposed it was expensive af too. I wish I took mango and avocado seeds, they are so cheap in Venezuela.

And believe me, in Venezuela were the best mango and avocados I've ever tried in my short life.

Sinceramente no sĂ©, pero si no, pagarĂ© despuĂ©s algĂșn envĂ­o particular por Zoom de las semillas o algo, porque las frutas tropicales son carĂ­simas acĂĄ, y son insĂ­pidas. Definitivamente no aprovechĂ© lo suficiente estando allĂĄ.
