Barquisimeto, Venezuela

 

Mid 90's, before Hugo Chavez. I'm not sure I would go there now.

Had to bribe their customs officials to get out of the country. Went there on business and some other guys (who we didn't know) on the flight down suggested we put a $10 or $20 bill in our passport whenever they asked for it. Not having any experience with such things, I figured that would likely cause us to get in trouble, bribing officials and such. So, when we're about to board our plane to leave, this customs guy in a military uniform asks to see our passports, goes into another room with them, waits about 5 minutes and returns and tells us our papers are not in order. This happens 2 or 3 times over about 20 to 30 minutes, all the while they have us situated in this little room with a window where we are watching the other passengers board our plane. We're starting to get nervous. So, the next time he asks for them, we each had put a $20 inside. He returns promptly this time and releases us to get on the plane.

Niagara Falls (Canadian Side)

 

Went to a little town outside of Toronto on business and made a day trip to the see the falls.

It was mid January and the falls and all the walkways and railings were frozen over much like this picture.

Anyway, looked around a bit, snapped a few pictures and then spent a few hours in the local casino trying to figure out how much I was really gambling with since it was Canadian money with about a .75 conversion factor.

Puerto Vallarta, Mexico

Stayed at the hotel on the left. Had lunch one day in that little thatched roof hut on the left. One of the best things I've ever eaten- a seafood soup with prawns and scallops and all kinds of stuff but notably octopus- big purple colored chunks of leg with the tentacles still on it. It was excellent.
