Canaima National Park, Venezuela

6,278 miles down, only 24,522 miles to go! That's right, we are a little over 20% there.

We came to rest last Sunday in Canaima National Park in Venezuela, near the Venezuela-Brazil border. This park is known for its tepuis, or table-top mountains. Among them is Auyantepui, from which Angel Falls, the highest waterfall on earth, descends. I think it is fascinating that such a natural wonder was not officially "discovered" until 1933, when Jimmy Angel crashed his plane atop Auyantepui.

Kind of a slow week for us, but there were a few people that normally report that I did not hear from. Hopefully we will start to pick it back up this week.
