Saludos a todos los hivers.
Hoy les comparto la segunda parte de la visita a la Casa San Isidro, aquí en Ciudad Bolívar Venezuela, un recorrido memorable para los estudiantes de tercer año de bachillerato, lo importante de conocer la cultura y parte de la historia de nuestros antes pasados y sobre todo que aquí vivió el Libertador Simón Bolívar.
Greetings to all Hivers.
Today I'm sharing the second part of our visit to the San Isidro House here in Ciudad Bolívar, Venezuela. It was a memorable tour for the third-year high school students, highlighting the importance of learning about the culture and history of our ancestors, and especially the fact that the Liberator Simón Bolívar lived here.
As I mentioned in the previous post, the Liberator lived in the Casa San Isidro during colonial times, and it served as his headquarters when he organized or prepared for the famous Congress of Angostura. Despite the restorations carried out on this old house, the aim is to maintain and protect the cultural, natural, and historical heritage of the region for future generations, preserving the knowledge, myths, and legends of that era.
The colonial style is what should be maintained, as it reflects what the homes of privileged and powerful people were like in colonial times. Restorations are very important because they preserve the image of what we want to maintain. For example, the kitchen in this house was exactly as you see it today; it's only on display for the public. Obviously, it's no longer used, but I've heard that in other places, these types of kitchens are still used with wood or charcoal outdoors, giving it that rustic touch. The students listened attentively to the details the guide pointed out, and he showed them the house inside and out. We finished in the garden area.
Ah, my favorite area in the courtyards of these houses! Nature is the star and it's abundant. The green and the blue of the sky combine to create a fresh atmosphere, and the landscape is enchanting now. But as we're told, back then snakes and jaguars were everywhere, as were caimans when the river was completely under their control. Of course, times have changed, and everything flows and adapts to the present. In the pond, there are small turtles, and in the trees, you'll find birds and iguanas that are native to this area. For me, it was a wonderful tourist, historical, and recreational experience, a chance to learn about and appreciate what's ours.
Thanks for visiting. The photos are my own, taken with my Redmi 9T smartphone in Venezuela. See you in the next post.
