The mines

Uncle

Last night we celebrated the birthday of my godson’s mother.
After a long search (I believe thirty minutes) the waiter found a bottle of champagne.
At the end of the evening my godson’s father explained the secrets of “El Tio” – the devil-like figure that is worshipped in the Bolivian mines.
My godson’s father used to work in the mines himself.
