Nothing but perfect love


If I speak all the languages of men and of angels,
I love missing, but that would not be bronze resonate
and bell playing. Whether to have the gift of prophecy, knowing
secret things with all kinds of knowledge, and would
as much faith to move mountains, but I do not love,
I am nothing. If you share everything I own to the poor and whether
delivered to my own body, but not for love, but to
receive praise, I gain nothing.
Love is patient, helpful and without envy. He does not want to pretend
nor does the important. Not acting with baseness, or seek their
own interest. Love can not be carried away by anger, but
forgives and forgets offenses. Never was glad something unjust
and always tells the truth. The apology love everything, every thought,
everything expected and everything is carrying.
Love never happen. Pass the prophecies, quiet languages
and lost consciousness. Because knowledge, like
that the prophecies, things are not finished. And when it arrives
perfect, as imperfect disappear.

1 Corinthians 13, 1-10.

Venezuela, waiting for You



Venezuela is epic in proportion: it boasts South America's largest lake and third-longest river, the highest waterfall in the world, the longest of all snakes, and some of the most spectacular landscapes you'll ever see.

There are the snowcapped peaks of the Andes in the west; steamy Amazonian jungles in the south; the hauntingly beautiful Gran Sabana plateau, with its strange flat-topped mountains, in the east; and miles of white-sand beaches fringed with coconut palms on the Caribbean coast. More..........

Jamaica




For centuries, Jamaica has welcomed settlers from all around the world. This small island has played host to the Amerindians who discovered it, to Europeans who fought to own it, to Africans forced to call it home, and to Asians, Indians and Middle Easterners searching for a better life. Each group carried with it a story and tradition, throwing everything into Jamaica's melting pot. After centuries of brewing, all have blended together to give the island its rich history and heritage - an international smorgasbord of legends, cultures and customs, all displayed right here against the background of Jamaica’s beautiful mountains and valleys.
