Ernesto Leon, whom I don’t know, but apparently lives in Houston, sent my a note about his site with a collection of old pictures of Venezuela, which is very interesting, at least for us Venezuelans. The filthy, polluted Guaire river that two men dared canoe last Saturday, is seeing above on the left in a 1918 postcard that says on the upper right corner in English: “Greetings from Caracas”. The one on the right is the Catia lagoon in 1924. Catia is today the “West” of Caracas and I think it would be hard to find where the lagoon used to be. There are other pictures of the Presidential palace, the Legislative palace, the Guaire River, Country Club and many others. Very nice and very interesting. Thanks to Mr. Leon both for sending it and for doing it!
