Up The Hill

We are living for the week about halfway up a steep hill. Of course, you can walk the hill if you want, but everyone takes the jeeps (500 bolivares a ride, or about US$ 0.23). They roar right past our door, just a few feet from where we're sleeping. Takes some getting used to. In the mornings, they are filled to overflowing with grade school students in their uniforms. They run until late in the evening carrying workers and commuters coming home to the barrio.
