My compliments to the abuela !

Throughout our trip, we've noticed that the best cooks are always men or grandmothers, never younger women. So we asked our Venezuelan friend Eduardo.  He says (though others dispute his claim) that here in Venezuela the young women do much less housework than in other machista Latin American countries.


Was Venezuela an anomaly in this part of the world, a bastion of feminism where household chores are equally shared between the sexes ?


- So what do the women here do ?, I foolishly ask.


- They look pretty, Eduardo responds.  And when they get old and ugly, they learn to cook !

  1. From Wiki "Under the direction of Osmel Sousa, Venezuela has accumulated more international titles than any other country, including six Miss Universe winners, five Miss World winners, six Miss International winners and one Miss Earth."

    Its paying off!
