Here is a shot of some of the other pottery and the blurry picture is the double vesseled bowl she scored.

This shot is about two montha into the project. At the time oil was $13.00 a barrel and you got about 20 Bolivar per dollar. The best restaurant in Maraicaibo was called La Tinahera (water purifier). You could eat a 5 star meal there for under 30 Bolivar. So we ate there most nights. By the end of this trip I had gained over 20 pounds as you can see in this picture.

Dr Nancy Wexler is interviewing this family member in the photo. If you are interested in reading about this ongoing project and the Hereditary Disease Foundation here is the link.
