Home Life and Surroundings of the Venezuelans in Caracas
In Caracas the poor and the rich live side by side behind alike exteriors. Inside, homes vary from bare to luxurious with patios, European furniture, and gardens. Most houses are single story with cement walls, water works, and electric lights, while sewers are scarce and mountain rains keep streets healthy. Women’s behavior mirrors Southern Europe and safety concerns keep women indoors or veiled behind iron bars. American tin appears in huts, and tin cans are repurposed for siding and roofing.
