I am holding a jar of Vicks Vaporub. It is a small jar and looks like it was bought about 10 years ago. Apparently, the paste helps with the Red Ant bites that are all over my feet. I haven’t put any on yet though because the rain seems to be soothing the bites. I guess we ran over one of ant’s nests when we drove into the mud. The rain is also washing off some of the mud that was kicked up by the spinning tires and landed on the car. The tires are struggling to gain grip as the car jerks back and forth. I think I am far enough away from the truck that is tugging at the rear of our car. Also keeping their distance are the other spectators that have gathered. They are sweating from the afternoon sun (or is it just the rain?). Among the spectators is a giant statue of Moses. He looks over us and the green plains that surround us. In the hazy distance, Moses and I can see the town of Cariaco. I think to myself that this would make a great photo. In a pure gringo accent, I yell out “Viva Venezuela!” and everyone smiles, including me.
