I do not know if readers agree, but since I wrote this chronicle of Thomas Orell, the peasant of the Upper Valley, I made friends Cyber \u200b\u200bMuseum Director Allen , which responds to the name of Lorenzo Brevi. What magic of the Internet that allows us to be at the same time in Palma de Mallorca and the Upper Valley! And all without leaving our house! Right? Lorenzo Brevi and his staff work hard to make the memory of his people to keep more and more alive, more alert and well it does, because only the memory prevents us from stumbling two
times with the same stone. This is how the memory of the Río Negro has to happen from the museum's temporary exhibitions, and delineations of its people, those pioneers who made our south. Others, jobs, jobs, tools, features, citizens and all that concerns the life of Allen and surrounding areas.
But this time, Don Brevi and his acolytes have put us romantics. And they are so beautiful images that made me come, my soul "Susie" (sorry for Quino) could not resist the call of this story.
is so easy to imagine the girls, who struggled
our south accompanying their parents pioneers, clad in satin and silk folds of which adorn the living ... or think of the row of communicants, proud of the hoops that arming their plumeti organza dresses, going to the church in the main square. Also why not? see the babies, ready to "Christian" as it was then, at the foot of the Font. These costumes, these bouquets and tiaras, these beggars and capotitas, accompanied by photographs to say everything in a traditional time romantic, sometimes a little naive to some one if not disingenuous, but certainly valuable and representative of a time and customs.
How beautiful to the families of the brides of yesteryear to find in the museum manikins representing their mothers or grandmothers at a unique moment of their lives, bringing an image that might have been imagined only in black and white ! It is your own history that gives this exhibition. What doubt? So if any of you walk through the area, be sure to visit Don Brevi and white dresses. It will be a beautiful way to remember blossoms in the valley where they grow the best apples in Argentina. And in those blossoms, all the families that made Patagonia a site worthy of pride.
