Introduction

View of La Trinidad

My brother, Josué (Josh) lived in the town of La Trinidad (which is a twenty-minute drive south of Estelí). La Trinidad got its name from the three hills which surround the town.

La Trinidad is a bread-making town. Most of the people in the town who earn a living earn a living by selling the bread they make or b delivering bread around the area in trucks. Other people live off the money their relatives in America send. Early in the morning the sounds of the trucks mix with roosters, squealing pigs, and ranchero music to wake us up.
