Hello
I hope you don't mind my writing in English.
This may be a slightly strange post, but here goes:
In July and August of 1992, I was bicycling through Venezuela (a beautiful country, by the way; I especially enjoyed la Gran Sabana), and one day in the city of El Tigre I was interviewed by two journalists from the newspaper "El Mundo Oriental".
They took my picture and asked me where I was going etc., and I think an article must have appeared about me, but I never had the opportunity to check.
I would like to have this article, but unfortunately, I have not found any Venezuelan newspaper called "El Mundo Oriental" on the Internet, so I assume it no longer exists.
Even so, it should still be possible to find the article at a well-stocked Venezuelan library or archive (if the article appeared at all). I was wondering if someone who happens to live near such a library in Venezuela would be willing to look for the article and send me a scan. The article - about a 20-year-old gringo cyclist on his way to the Amazon and Cape Horn - would have appeared around 1 August 1992 (plus or minus five days).
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Bye,
Schreiber
