Después de una larga travesía cruzando el charco y de una pequeña odisea, llegó a mis manos un regalo muy especial. Y digo una pequeña odisea, porque el paquete estuvo a punto de perderse por el camino!!!.
Se trata de una talla de madera con el nombre de este blog y con la imágen de un precioso bohío, que como ya he explicado en otra ocasión, era la vivienda típica de los indios Taínos que habitaron en la Isla de Boriquén, que es como se le conocía ancestralmente a la Isla de Puerto Rico.
La talla está realizada por el maestro Víctor Ramírez Benítez, artesano nativo del pueblo de Añasco en el área oeste de Puerto Rico y donde tiene su pequeño taller.
Ya habíamos tenido la oportunidad de conocer parte de su obra (ver post de 31 de enero de 2012) en un reportaje para el que Víctor nos había dedicado unas palabras.
Quiero agradecerle a Víctor el cariño con el que ha realizado este trabajo y expresarle la emoción que significó para mi recibir tan preciado y significativo obsequio. También quiero agradecer a Warner Santiago por servir de nexo de unión entre nosotros!
Muchas gracias queridos amigos de Puerto Rico!!!
After a long journey across the pond and a small odyssey, got my hands on a very special gift. And I say a little odyssey, because the package was to be lost along the way!.
This is a wood carving with the name of this blog and the image of a beautiful "bohío", which as I explained on another occasion, was the typical house of the Taino Indians who inhabited the island of Borinquen, which is like ancestrally was known to the Island of Puerto Rico.
The carving is done by the master Victor Ramirez Benítez, craftsman Añasco native village in the western area of Puerto Rico and where he has his workshop.
We already had the opportunity to meet some of his work (see post of January 31, 2012) in a report for us that Victor had devoted a few words.
I want to thank Victor affection with which he has done this work and express the emotion it meant to me to receive such a precious and meaningful gift. I also want to thank Warner Santiago for serving as nexus of union between us!
Thank you very much dear friends from Puerto Rico!
