Yeah, that is a typical venezuelan fishing boat. We call them "Peñeros".
Moving back? Hmm, I don't think so. There is nothing for us there right now. My kids are safer, we have access to quality education, there is no food shortage in Panama, no electric outages every day, my kids can walk to Mc Donalds five blocks down the street from home, and return home safe and sound, I can opt for a low rate long term loan in any bank, supermarkets are full of food of any kind and variety. Not like back there, only one type and make of oil, flour, milk, sugar, cofee, etc. And the amount they assign to you.
So, the short answer is no. We have no plans or intentions of going back. In fact, we are thinking about becoming Panamanians.
I'm home sick, because is never easy to get out of your country to a new one, even if they speak the same language, but everything is different. We have not too many friends yet, I miss hanging out with my buddies, etc. That kind of sick.
It's nice to see your old pictures. I like the first one the best, showing the boat and the people. Is that a fishing boat? It looks pretty long. Since you are homesick, do you think you'll ever move back to Venezuela?
