It began with a delayed departure from home because of the storm, but with helpful advice from the MTC they were able to get to London on Monday,' then to Toronto by train, and caught an early Wednesday flight on Pan Am to Miami, then to Caracas( a city of five million. Their hotel was an hours drive from there. They spent a day shopping in Caracas, but many stores were closed because of the. Pope's visit. They were in a five -storey gold shop where gold and leather items were reasonable in price, but clothing in that country is very expensive. A glass- blowing factory was a fascinating place to visit. They enjoyed a coastal tour by jeep with•a group of 100 people, eight to a jeep, and swam in a beautiful waterfall in the • midst of lush jungle. Another interesting place they visited was a fishing village. The hills were lit up at night from lights in the many shacks that are everywhere there. Immigrants come to Venezuela because it is a prosperous country and live in the shacks. Bonnie says it's illegal to build them, so they put them up during the night, and once they're in them: no one puts them out.. English is taught in the schools and the peo- ple like to practise it with tourists, Bonnie and Dave enjoyed excellent, inex- pensive food — steak,. chicken and lots of seafood. They got back to Varna on Satur- day. . INVENTORY SALE A�, W,nfe. , COATS a�d JACKETS 2 PRICE Special Groups of PANTS -SWEATERS and SHIRTS X12 PRICE All MSUITS REDUCED TO CLEAR!
