Meanwhile the palenque had filled up. There were at least 100 people, families with children, groups of teenage girls, some with boyfriends, boys and men of all ages. It became unbearably hot; everyone was wiping their brows.
Ya se llenó el palenque. Hubo por lo menos cien personas: familias con niños; grupos de chicas, algunas con sus novios; muchachos y hombres de todas edades. Se ponía muy caliente; todo el mundo sudaba.
