This is a street in Giron, a very old town near Bucaramanga. This would be a typical street in the older towns, with all the buildings painted white and each house having a balcony. In the old towns the streets are made of brick or stones.
I have chosen the title "Hermona Patrona" because my husband has for many years affectionately called me La Patrona. In Spanish the word jefa means "she who is the boss". My husband, however, says that the word patrona refers to "she who commands". In other words, La Patrona is more powerful than La Jefa. Because we are serving on a mission, he now calls me "Hermana Patrona."
