but the major area is open to the
weather.
Free Market
Vendors of vegetables, meats,
fish, household supplies and all.
other imaginable products sell
their goods on the sidewalks of
the free- market in the heart of
town. The market opens in the
early morning, but the merchants
are there long before the doors
swing wide to get a good place'
to show their g'oods.
"Free market" means no rent
is charged for Ihe use of space in
the building. Much trading is done
by the buyer to lower the prices.
Little Luxury
Native language is Spanish. Un-
til recent years, the people of
Maracaibo had very little of the.
new appliances and the' advant-
ages of scientific discoveries Some
of the people still aren't able to
have the necessities, much less
the' luxuries.
Automobiles hurry through the
streets, when hurrying is possible,
but most people take their time
from place to place. A hand signal
could mean anything fiom turn-
ing a corner to flying to the moon,
and to a foreigner it seems mass
confusion. Every person of Mar-
acaibo has to have a paper with
him at all times, this being a
cedula. A eedula serves as a means
of identification just as our driv-
ers license is used in the states,
and without this, a person could
be. put in jail immediately.
Growing' Rapidly
Sunday afternoons just before
dark, the prominent people of the
city have an affair like our par-
ade'. There is a military fort with
a circular drive in front and a
military band for the music. These
people drive through here many
times in big, expensive sedans and
convertibles showing' the specta-,
tors their unwed daughters and'
their entire family. The event is
important to these people and is
expected of them.
Maracaibo is rapidly growing
in wealth, education, opportuni-
ties and modern facilities, but
there will always be the old on the
outskirts and in between the new.
