My Grandma came to the United States in 1901 when she was just thirteen. Just before she was set to leave for America, she got a deep cut in her leg. But she didn´t tell anyone, because she was afraid that the authorities might not let her go if they knew. She wore her riding boots the whole time. By the time she got to the US, her leg was quite infected. But she was all right. She was very beautiful.    diana
