THERE WAS DANCING and colourful celebration when the Venezuelan training vessel sailed into Barbados yesterday with scores of naval cadets on board.
A gun salute from the Barbados Coast Guard welcomed the ship to its dock at the Bridgetown Port, and the St Leonard’s Boys’ Choir serenaded the visitors with a rendition of Beautiful Barbados in English and Spanish, much to the delight of the visiting cadets who applauded loudly.
But when the Latin music burst forth from the Simon Bolivar, Venezuelans in the welcoming party could not resist and this member of the Venezuelan Embassy staff succeeded in getting this young man from the Barbados Youth Service to join her in showcasing some Latin steps. (GC)
