Love Cristina's bag! The old town looks nice. And glad you came across another Venezuelan lady - hopefully she will be able to help out with your trip to the island.

Wow that phot of Old Town could be New Orleans

Well the two cities are basically facing eachother across the Caribbean, amd even though one has French and the other Spanish colonial history I'd imagine the Caribbean was much of a cultural continuum really.

Louisiana was actually under Spanish rule for 40 years. A lot of what people think of as "French" in New Orleans happened under Spanish rule. The Cabildo, the wrought iron, the blue-and-white street name tiles--those were all Spanish. Even St. Louis Cathedral didn't become a cathedral until the Spanish.
