Observations focused on the problems of an underdeveloped country, Venezuela, with some serendipity about the world (orchids, techs, science, investments, politics) at large. A famous Venezuelan, Juan Pablo Perez Alfonzo, referred to oil as the devil's excrement. For countries, easy wealth appears indeed to be the sure path to failure. Venezuela might be a clear example of that.

Picnic-pit stop for lunch at the beach on the last day of the year
The Devil is biking around the Big Island of Hawaii for the next few days. From there, he wishes every one of his readers a wonderful 2016 and may prosperity and peace come to our beleaguered country, Venezuela, in 2016.

Palm trees by the ocean- such an idyllic photo could have been taken in Venezuela. Beaches, Angel Falls, llanos, Andes, need I go on? Absent the malandros and corrupt government, perhaps Venezuela will one day become a tourist destination for those who are not PSF.

Sr. Diablo, como dicen mis hijos, could you post some pictures of this trip? This beats Camurí one thousand times.

Looks great. The best to you and yours Miguel.
As for Venezuela, well, I’m hoping to be able to return one day before I get too old. (I’m 55 now.) However, I’m not holding my breath. Deep are the tentacles of Cuba, Socialism, and “us” vs. “them”.

I’m 59, and I was too old ten years ago.
