Wyatt in Caracas
A Daily Photo Essay of My Journey

I had hoped to get a better photo of this tower but current events dictate I post this one. Early Sunday morning the Parque Central East Tower caught fire and over the next 20 hours caused over $300 million damage. The army finally had to put it out by dumping water from helicopters. All car records for Caracas were destroyed along with many other records and some irreplaceable art. The tower is one of a twin-pair that sit by the freeway I take to the airport. I've always called them the Dark Towers because they have an ominous feel about them.
