Abuelo Nicolas

The village of San Nicolas is named for a wonderful, gentle, elderly man. We really enjoyed meeting Don Nicolas, and seeing how the village children interact with him. At first they were unsure about us, so they hung close to Don Nicolas, kind of hiding behind him and hanging onto his coat-tails. Later we asked to take his picture and all the kids instictively gathered around him. It is obvious that Don Nicolas is the grandfather of the village and a strong leader in his community. We really enjoyed meeting this wonderful man.
