One of the wonderful things about Caracas is that, despite being a huge overpopulated and usually chaotic city, it has plenty of parks and green areas for nature lovers. Parque del Este (as people know

Some time ago I posted about this wonderful discovery here in Caracas. Well, I picked up a dozen cachitos and started working on them to give them to @annaky and @imabby17 After 6 years away in Brazil,

Yesterday, we went hiking again. The one legged man (who we have run into a couple of times) had already finished his trail. We are so amazed at people like him. There is also a very old lady with a cane
