Photographer’s Note
Here you can see kids playing baseball. In Zulia, north of Maracaibo, the interesting Sinamaica Lagoon is a community of Paraujano and Añu Indians descendants that still live in houses built on palafitos or stilts, some of them yet built traditionally with estera, a kind of mat made from reed available in the shallow shores. The lagoon is famous for giving the country its denomination when Alonso de Ojeda and Americo Vespucci compared it to Venice in 1499 and named the whole region as Little Venice, or Venezuela.
