Gabino Álvarez


 Gabino Álvarez, San Antonio, Texas. 2011.

Hace unas semanas estuve en San Antonio, Texas, trabajando en un reportaje para una revista de la Ciudad de México. Unas horas antes de salir al aeropuerto salí a caminar al centro, había poca gente , estábamos a 40˚C. Durante esa caminata conocí a Gabino Álvarez, originario de Cuernavaca, lleva más de 20 años viviendo en los Estados Unidos, ese día venía regresando de su ciudad natal después de haber enterrado a su hermano.

Some weeks ago i was in San Antonio, Texas, working on a story for a Mexico City magazine. A few hours before i had to leave to the airport i went downtown for a walk, the were not many people on the street , we were 104˚F. During that walk I met Gabino Álvarez, he was born in Cuernavaca and has been living in the US for more than 20 years. That day he was returning from his home town after burying his brother.
