[Marxism] logistical info for those going to Caracas Social Forum

[Amaral1871@xxxxxxx]

I just wanted to inform those comrades who might be going to the social forum
in VZ that there are some major difficulties travelling between the airport
and the city. An important bridge has gone down and what was once a twenty
minute trip is either an hour and a half in a 4X4 vehicle or 2.5 to three hours
over another mountainous route. There is all sorts of chaos involved if one
arrives late because the first route (the 4X4...) is closed over night and the
cost involved can be relatively exorbitant any way you cut it.

On my way out of Caracas, I got a ride from an interesting and engaging
Chavista who has a reliable 98 Ford 4x4 ($100) . If anyone is looking for a ride
and wants to contact me offlist I can provide his info...I think if one arrives
earlier in the day   - and without excessive baggage - there are minibuses
running which are cheaper ( of course you have to wait for them to be full for
them to leave - making them less reliable in terms of timing things...). Anyway,
just a heads up...
