Hello ,My name is Horatio Esparenza, and I was created from my parents: Palm Fronds in Trinidad, Cuba in February 2016, I came to know my new Friend, Bonart from Canada in an unusual way. My Creator presented me to her as a token in Manaca while she was a visitor and she invited me to accompany her on a whirlwind adventure of my native country.

Our first adventure was in my home town of  Manaca Iznaga, Cuba, the home of Trinidad stitching 
a sample :

and the famous 49 M high Tower

Twelve kilometers northwest of Trinidad, the Manaca-Iznaga Tower continues to watch over the Valle de los Ingenios (Valley of the Sugar Mills) as it did over 180 years, although its purpose today has nothing to do with its origin…The story of the construction of the tower is still much debated. According to one legend, the Iznaga brothers made a bet to see who would attain the more fame. Alejo built the 45-meter tower and Pedro constructed a well 28 meters deep. Another legend has it that Alejo had ordered its construction to lock his adulterous wife in.
The tower is divided into seven levels of different geometrical shapes that go from squares to octagons, has spacious arches and a 184-step internal staircase from the base to the top. It is built with mud bricks and a traditional mortar of lime and sand. From its top, the visitor can take in the entire valley, which was declared a UNESCO Cultural Heritage Site thanks to the preservation of 65 archaeological plots. The tower was declared a national Monument in 1978.

She and her friend NJ escorted me to the top of said tower, but had to hang on to me to keep me from being blown away in the high wind, Thank you for that, I have not yet learned to Fly.

After that harrowing experience a cerveza was in order before the taxi ride to my new life.
