This time Pauna had a more celebrated visitor: the governor of the department, Don José María Villarreal himself. He came for the dedication of a new highway strip. The day was hot, and after lunch the governor and his aides went down to the river, below the bridge, to bathe. Hundreds of villagers gathered to see His Excellency in a bathing suit.

Like the eggless breakfast and the eye-cup-sized jigger, the skinny London newspaper is a hard fact for a visitor to get used to.
