Leaving Merida, Venezuela

 Leaving Merida, Venezuela 

My hotel in Merida, just a stone's throw from the teleferico to Pico Bolivar. My rooms were the two windows, one storey down from the top right hand side. To the left of the two windows is a wide opening with a wide parapet that I would sit at with my laptop to write anf gaze across the plaza to the mountains. 
The truck drove down the same road that I had travelled along to reach Lake Maracaibo and back to Merida. Since I knew the road, I was ready with the camera for this shot. A tunnel built for the road but no mountain to go through. 

In reality, it is an avalanche tunnel to deflect rocks over and not onto the road.

We moved on to the border and after a misunderstanding at the border where we had to move on to another crossing point, we crossed into Colombia.
