I agree.....hope its not too bloody or lengthy. OT I was in Caracas in 1990 and there was a lot of protesting going on then also....remember hearing small arms and sporadic machine gun fire in the distance from the apartment of friends I was visiting. Some of the best SCUBA diving I've done just off the coast a few hours from the city....but when you drove thru checkpoints it was a bit unnerving to have machine guns pointed right at your head as they looked over your car.
