My cousin Ernie sent me a video of the Carnival Parties thrown in Caracas during the 50's...The link is below for those that may want to know how they were and how Caracas looked like back then...The band playing the song was called "Billos Caracas Boys". They were very famous back then up until I finished High School. Going to a party where that band was playing was very cool...The rithm that they are playing is called Merengue...I danced to that music in many parties...In the video you will see some girls dressed with dark mask...those are the famous "Negritas" a very popular costume during Carnival in Venezuela...I remember my cousin Scarla wearing that custome to some of the parties... You can see the parades...I AM HOMESICK!!!!...I am also including another links about the old and modern Caracas for your entertainment...

I am sorry you are homesick! I get that feeling more in the fall when I miss the leaves changing and pending snow like when I grew up. You must miss the food too. I know I miss certain foods.
These clips are fun to watch and I can see how they could make you homesick, I love finding old pictures of where I grew up.
