CHAPTER FIVE
ON THE OCCASION of the celebration of the new century, there was an
innovative
program of public ceremonies, the most memorable of which was the first
journey in a
balloon, the fruit of the boundless initiative of Dr. Juvenal Urbino. Half the
city gathered
on the Arsenal Beach to express their wonderment at the ascent of the
enormous balloon
made of taffeta in the colors of the flag, which carried the first airmail to
San Juan de la
Ciénaga, some thirty leagues to the northeast as the crow flies. Dr. Juvenal
Urbino and
his wife, who had experienced the excitement of flight at the World’s Fair
in Paris, were
the first to climb into the wicker basket, followed by the pilot and six
distinguished
guests.
