A man was fixing the light outside the church of the former Hacienda La Labor del Río, close to balneario de Lourdes Hotel. Inside the humbled decorated church, a woman was swiping the decaying stone floor. Only two people were in this place of what it seemed like the main square, perhaps the only one. The hollow building in front of me was actually just a wall, the front wall of what it used to be a building.
The silence of this place is gold, of course it’s a matter of perspective. Perhaps for the inhabitants of this village, noisy festivals are welcome and look forward to, but for us, the sound of the wind and one single broom’s rhythmic sound was quiet enough. Sketching went fast.

We left the village. We found a herd of cows and calves on the road to the highway. They stopped one by one on the middle of the road while crossing it to take a look at us very curiously. A photo at home was used to make this last sketch on this mini getaway
