Went to El Hatillo with some Venezuelan friends on Monday night.  They thought it funny that their tour guide in their own country was an American with poor Spanish language skill.  We strolled around the shops, sat in the square, and watched the Olympics as we ate in a Mexican restaurant.  We finished the evening eating a traditional Venezuelan dessert called Churro.  They serve a type of Churro at Costco in the states so you likely have some idea what they are like.
