Choroni Beach Weekend

We left tonight on an overnight bus (13hrs!) to head to Choroni which is a city with very beautiful beaches! The buses here are so insane, because they keep them freezing cold. Everybody that i've talked to about the buses always complain about how cold they keep the bus, so why not just turn the AC down a tad? Oh yeah that's right... I've given up on trying to figure out why venezolanos do things the way they do.

TANGENT: remember how everybody uses straws here? Well, one of the venezolanos told me they do that because someone could have licked the can!! Seriously?! So you can pee in the streets, leave trash all over the sidewalks, never have toilet paper OR soap in public restrooms, but will use a straw because someone MAY have licked the can! what?!

Anyway, the overnight bus trip was okay. I couldn't ever get comfortable and was in a silly mood the whole time. Slept a little though!
