I was born on a place called the valley of the hammocks been a seismic place the name it is appropiate, small country in Central America El Salvador. ( The Savior ) I survive in my youth three earthquakes and the last one as an adult.

In my childhood I felt like robot, and very alert and curious about everything, on christmas was a time of enjoyment with fire crackers and testing food and wait for the god child to bring presents different to European father christmas .

I was close to died poisoned by a firecracker called the sparks of the devil ( when adult I did realized that ) It was of the size of knob of tamarind. The sparks of the devil burnt just to scrached it on the floor or walls, as you imagen I bite it and caught fire on my mouth that was the way I learnt to play with the sparks of the devil.

I remember just one earthquake in my chilhood I was sleeping in a bed  myt parents called scissor bed cos it was build with two x  x similar to scissors and  to long poles on which it was attached a piece of strong canvas that made the bed bendable;

 the point I want to make it is that bed save my life, on the night of a earthquake one of the wall felt on my bed, but the bed it is like those hammocks where you laid on you are on the botton part ,the wall fall on top of the poles and my mather rescue me.very long story made short. One day I will continue this work...
