My encore in Venezuela


Greetings from Parte 2 of my South American sojourn, Venezuela. I spent about 24 hours in Caracas then quickly escaped to the Andean town of Merida where I am now. Caracas is more chaotic than ever. In my book, it now shares with Guatemala City the distinction of ¨Most Obnoxious Capital City.¨I would recommend these two destinations to all your worst enemies.
Conversely, at over 3000 feet above sea level, Merida is an alpine wonderland: snowy Andean mountain peaks, azure skies, colonial architecture, cheap food and accommodations. The only thing that could make it better would be unicorns. Why can't I ever find unicorns?!
I'll post pictures later. I can't find my USB cable. Maybe the unicorns ate it.

When I lived in Merida, this was the apartment building where I lived!





If only it had unicorns. (sigh)

Do you really think that the unicorns are going to accept your presence when you allowed another wonderous creature of the world to be stunned and burned??
