During the ”Guinda de Mayo” they killed my father. They killed him here in Tequeque. In an army ambush. We were in Patamera for that Guinda de Mayo and we had to run away towards the area of Las Vueltas. We passed the army's lines in Nueva Trinidad, and ran towards Las Vueltas. There was another breach of the army's line, as they called it. In order to get through, they had to fight. Then we came back through Los Amates, to get back here to the Tequeque area.
[You were there in Tequeque?]
