For a week and a half of riding out of Caracas, I was joined by my friend Tom Hunt. Tom, a former college roommate, introduced me to bike touring, and it was great for us to reunite and ride across Venezuela. Although I meet more locals traveling alone, biking with a friend is more fun, and I joked that I was ‘on vacation’ while he was here. The photos below should give you a good idea of the week and half we spent traveling east along the coast before heading south and inland to the Orinoco River (see map).

I didn’t know Tom was joining you! That sounds so fun! And you got to go snorkling. I love getting to read your journals because I feel smarter and I get to see all your nice pictures.
Did you hear josh’s news? Engaged! It was very cute. He put a ton of thought into the whole process. Ended up hiding the ring in a tackle box. Awww…
Miss you both and hope you are doing well. Do you know when you are planning on ending your trip?
