Inside South America a year in pics: Venezuela street scenes

Inside South America is on vacation. But over the holidays, I'll be posting some of my favorite photos from the year.

These are some shots I took during several trips to Venezuela.

1) A pic of a Che Guevara lookalike and ardent Chavez supporter who I've spotted at several of the president's rallies.

2) Images of Chavez are everywhere, including this no-smoking sign hanging in a government office.

3) This woman was dusting off a statue of Latin American Liberator Simon Bolivar as part of a street-art festival. The broom seller stumbled across the scene and seemed pretty confused by what was going on. 

4) A kid in Maracaibo uses one of the free Canaima laptops the government is doling out.
