Observations focused on the problems of an underdeveloped country, Venezuela, with some serendipity about the world (orchids, techs, science, investments, politics) at large. A famous Venezuelan, Juan Pablo Perez Alfonzo, referred to oil as the devil's excrement. For countries, easy wealth appears indeed to be the sure path to failure. Venezuela might be a clear example of that.
These are my friends and bodyguards at the march A good friend happy to be able to be here for the rally wih her mom
On the right notice the cutout of Mayor Capriles who is in jail and belongs to Primero Justicia
On the right, thousands of yellow, blue and red baloons were released.
I usually take lots of pictures but are only happy with a few. Either I am just giddy with the rally or tody was specially good for taking pictures. Above left: On the left the united country I want, on the right the division. Above Right: This lady was more than happy and willing to have her picture taken with all the SI stikers on her shirt and face. More pictures as I have time to post in the Pictures section.
The opposition closed its campaign today with six marches and a rally ending in the same point. It was very impressive. The mood was festive, happy, joyful and enthusiastic. I don’t want to get into an argument about size or if it matters, but it was HUGE. At somepoint I just moved according to the flow of people around me without being able to determine where I was going. It was hot, fun and I think it made everyone happy. Usually, it is hard for me to be within a march or rally and be able to take pictures even attempting to show how big it was. But here are four pictures, three of which attempt to do that, I actually had to work for these. I am tired, but in about an hour of two I will put up a selection of people’s pictures. I took lots, stay tuned! Great rally. The die is cast!
Top left: This is from a midpoint between the stage and the back of the march looking towards the back as far as I could see. Right: same shot but looking left, the stage is out of the picture further to the left.
Bottom Left: This is taken from the back of the stage, it was crowded there too. Bottom right: Personalities to the left of the stage. The sign says: Barinas (Chavez’ state) asks Venezuela for forgiveness.
