Don Raul welcomed us to the village of his birth, Samaipata. Living next to his brother Don Hermegones Costas with one of his sons, he is often seen sitting at the main plaza. He was the local schooldirector and mayor for many years, and is still active chairman of the civil council. For his 77th birthday he invited all the important people of the village, as well as his old friends from the whole state, and we had the honour to be there as well.
