Hello friends of Steemit, a pleasure to greet you. Today I will tell you about a trip that, due to the circumstances that my country is going through and in search of economic relief, I will venture into an unknown, violent and corrupt world, where gold is the entire mining arch of the Orinoco. Where is the greatest mineral wealth of Venezuela. It all started with a call from a great childhood friend who, seeing also the situation he is living, decided to go and look for a better future for himself and his family. It was the first week of June, my son 2 Diego was 3 months old.
Diego at 3 months
In the call of my friend, he tells me that he needs someone of confidence at his side and he tells me to go to the Claritas-Km 88 near a police station, to travel and wait for him there. Las Claritas is part of the Sifontes Municipality, Bolívar State, a few kilometers from the Canaima National Park and very close to the border with our area in Guayana claim. Esequiba is located a few kilometers after El Dorado.
Well, knowing the danger and having few options to earn some extra money to make ends meet, I prepared the best I could for what was coming and with a gigantic optimism, I thought that now I could get ahead and improve my life and of my life. lifetime. lifetime. family. They know something here in Venezuela and more here in the east, it is very remarkable when a person comes from the mines because he sees them, with his skin extremely sunburned and thin, but they come with Una. Large amount of cash and bank accounts, some also bring grams of gold to exchange them here. Such abundance deceives anyone, reality is different, one thing is what people paint you and another thing is to live it. But "pa lante", my mentality has always been that in this life you learn everything and teaching and experience is what really has value, so I grabbed my things and said goodbye to my children, my wife, my mother and all my friends. friends. friends and my loved ones, and I undertook my trip.
I will follow the story in another post. Greetings to all and a big hug.
