Encounter 002 | Humberto, from Mexico

The café on Calle Bolívar.

Humberto and the café drawing | San Telmo

It was a sunny Wednesday, mid-morning. I was drawing a café on Calle Bolívar when a man with a Mexican accent walked up.

"Are you a local artist? What are you drawing?"
"That café."
"I want to take it with me. Let me go to the hotel and I'll be back."

He came back as I was finishing. We sat at a table with his wife, I dedicated the drawing to him, wrapped it with a card and we talked for a while. Humberto was a courteous man, the kind you talk to easily. We took a few photos and went our separate ways.

Eight blocks later, as I was leaving a shop, Humberto and his wife were walking past the door. "What a coincidence." Half an hour later, near Avenida Belgrano, we ran into each other again on a corner.

On Sunday he walked past my stall at the San Telmo Fair. He wanted to take another drawing; that time I gave it to him. We talked about so many coincidences and came to the same conclusion: it happens for a reason, and if we don't know it now, we'll find out later.

Before leaving he invited me to Hidalgo, in Mexico. I gladly accepted. We exchanged contacts, and that's where the story stands, for now.
