After a couple of stops, one at the Fábrica de Galletas and another at Diversiones La Ballesta, we finally arrived at this beautiful town hidden among the hills and high mountains of Aragua State in Venezuela, La Colonia Tovar. Originally populated by Germans, almost 40 years ago, it is characterized by maintaining an architecture of Colonial Germany, and the climate helps to make the feeling more pleasant, as it is usually very cool, in fact there I heard that they call it the Germany of the Caribbean. We were here in high season, so the best pictures are like this first one I share above, the ones I took from far away, since the town was very crowded.

A nice space in the Music community that was born from the idea of brother @ablaze, where all participants recommend music to each other. We are already in 2025 and just today I'm back to my routine, my music and my work, but since a few days ago I returned to Caracas. I missed some things to do in December and many special people to meet, but it is a promise that is still pending. This last couple of days have been cleaning the house with my wife, and we really enjoy doing it, especially in the company of good music, and the Mexican duo Ha*Ash comes to the fore, and we both love Hanna and Ashley, especially since we saw them live. This #TTT is one of my favorite songs of theirs.

Despite being a municipality in Aragua State, the place where I was born and raised, Tovar is a place I never explored. Once in 2013 I sang at a concert in the popular church of Colonia Tovar, that beautiful little town lost in time with German architecture of yesteryear, but that time I focused on music and I do not remember any particular adventure, but this time it was different, it was a family trip to finish the Christmas vacations and the most fun place we met is the one I share with you today, The Crossbow...

These are the beautiful, vibrant and at the same time sublime colors that I enjoyed last Sunday when we took a little trip to the heights between mothers and children. It was a clear day, blue sky and with an impressive variety of vegetation, in fact there were many pine trees and that made me happy. We were arriving to Colonia Tovar, in fact this was our second stop since we left home. It is the Fábrica de Galletas, a very popular place and one of the first to visit in this area of Aragua State, although the cookies were what I paid less attention to (although I did buy several).

We were off for a mother and kids day trip, my wife and her mom and my mom and me. It would be a very long day with lots of places to visit, and there would be time for breakfast, walks, lunches and pictures... We were heading to a popular little town high up in the mountains of Aragua, Venezuela, so we made a first stop for breakfast. This place halfway and in the middle of nowhere is called Parador Ideal, and it was literally a dream place where we spent a nice time surrounded by nature, handicrafts and farm animals.

That day started very early for me. It would officially be the last day of vacation, the last day in my homeland and the last day to have a special moment with my family, so we had to live a perfect and memorable ride... We didn't go that far from home, but we did get a little closer to the sky because of the height of the place we would be visiting... We were already half way when the sun appeared behind the mountains.
