I just got back from a trip to Venezuela, as mentioned below. The purpose of the trip was anthropological research. We had grant money. It was going to be a great project. But it was a disaster. All kinds of bad luck and one crucial bad decision made it a nightmare. I should blog the whole story. I mean, we got robbed by cops, had government agency problems, and got severely double-crossed by colleagues.
The one good thing that happened was that once it was really clear that the project wasn't going to go through and everything else was a wash, I did a tourist trek in the mountains of southeast Venezuela - in the well known Gran Sabana. This was amazing and totally worth it. A six day trek. - supposedly this is the oldest mountain range in the world. The mountains are flat-toped and called "Tepuis". This was one of the coolest things I've done.
Here's a few pics:
