 Is
The Grass Greener? - The focal point of downtown Grenada is of course
the plaza or the Parque Colon. It is the pride of the city and very clean.
There are kiosks scattered around the plaza selling soft drinks and all
manner of tourist items. Everyone we encountered was very pleasant and
not “pushy”. You can rent a horse-drawn carriage here that will take you
on a tour of the city. A variety of hotels and restaurants line the square.
We found these to be adequate for a tourist city, and several were very
good. Most seem to be run or owned by expats from all over the world. |

Beaches
Of Margarita Island - Venezulean Beauty ~ by Scott Boswell -
The huge birdcage at the entrance - 8 feet high and large enough to hold
about six standing people and looks like a medieval torture chamber. One
sassy parrot greets visitors in several languages, his less gregarious
cage-mates just do the parrot thing. That’s the first thing you notice
at Jak’s, a rustic restaurant down by the marina at Playa Concorde. It’s
in an adobe colored building just at the water’s edge, about 20’x35’ with
a shed-type patio alongside, 100 yards from the marina and near the dinghy
dock the cruisers use to get to and from their boats anchored out in the
bay.

Margarita:
Mr Butcher - Here’s the thing that makes this story worth telling.
How many times have we run into a Spanish speaker in America who was struggling
to convey a message and we simply got frustrated and thought to ourselves…if
they are going to be in America they should learn to speak the language!

 Margarita:
The Cook's Tale - Needless to say I was floored by the quality of this
food and the prices. I really hadn’t noticed until now. I had always done
my guestimates of prices, which gets me pretty close, but until you get
the old calculator down and really crunch the numbers it just doesn’t hit
home. |

& New Year On Margarita Island ~ Tropical Holiday On Margarita
Island ~ by Scott Boswell - Just as in most of the rest of the
world, the colored lights are strung along the the major roadways, houses
are decorated, and stores are abundantly stocked in anticipation of the
shopping frenzy. Homes are repaired, painted, and ‘spruced up’ to
be ready for all the visiting friends and relatives, and parties are everywhere!
In my neighborhood alone one house had 24 cars parked around it! |

Island: A Woman’s Point of View - This island is beautiful-warm and
inviting like the people. The Margaritans genuinely care about our perception
of their island and are wonderfully welcoming and hospitable. We have been
looked after by both natives and fellow adventurers and whilst this place
isn’t for everyone, everyone is welcome. By Cindie Baxter |

Press & media
of Venezuela - A good way to know a nation is through its local media.
If the media remains uncensored we can draw some understanding of a nation
by perusing its media. If there is censorship, then there is no roadmap
to the nations culture. |
