On Friday December 10 we traveled to Trinidad, Santa Barbara, along with Helen, Rocio and Armando. After the "technical stop" in The Gallops, arrived on the stroke of 9:00 pm and were greeted with warm hospitality triniteca by Delmer Lee, Samuel Triggs, Mega and the beat of La Siembra. All were involved in activities before the day of burning. That night we saw some of the chimneys, but it was until the next morning when we fully appreciate, and also talked with residents, who have identified totally with the activity over the years. No one better than Helen Umaña to describe this wonderful experience on the lines that follow, and you can supplement your reading with the images captured by Armando Garcia, Gustavo Campos and Mario Gallardo clicking here .

At the base of the faithful-cross, a pedestal. "You can go who wants to" announces a young man. A beautiful woman overcomes fear and challenge. "Stretch your arms", "tilt your head," say some voices.

"Yes, all are made by those who wish to do so." A feeling of joy overcomes me: Here is emerging art from the deep needs of the people. What this announces to the future is unstoppable, I thought.
The monument to "the press sold" had been made with scrupulous realism.
