Hi Meli, thank you very much
I meant to get back and write a real comment about your lovely post, and have had so many distractions today! I can't believe how German that town looks! It's hard to believe it's in Venezuela!
If dear friend, it is as if it were a small Germany, some of the inhabitants wear clothes from their country, the restaurants with their meals are spectacular, there are many flowers, vegetables and their craft beers.
I've traveled in Germany and loved it. This would be a fun Place to visit and eat German food in Venezuela!
I have picked your post for my daily voting initiative! Keep it up and Steem on!
Thank you very much @chitty, for support
