Many driving trips were made to and from Mexico and when one of them was in a pale yellow jeep with a spacious back area, it was necessary to stop at Dolores Hidalgo to purchase ceramic pieces, especially larger ones, difficult and costly to ship. The scene of midday, just before the time of afternoon ‘comida’ (main meal of the day served around 2 p.m.) Sergio saw this scene of the sleeping dog, the resting ironing woman, the young boy who was sent for fresh tortillas, stopping to chat with his girlfriend, and he was touched by memories of his boyhood at this time of the day.
