ATRING



           While me and my dad were walking towards the hill to take pictures at the place where he used to go in his childhood times, we saw an old woman just walking, alone, smoking tobacco. My dad asked me if I wanted to take a picture of her for my next drawing. I said no because I have no clue. Maybe I was shy? 

          We were walking towards the hill for almost an hour but we decided to return to my grandmother's house because I was exhausted. We were already walking towards my grandmother's house and already walking for an hour. We saw the old woman again, walking under the heat of the sun, smoking tobacco. Because I was amazed, we approached her and ask a few questions before I took her picture. Her name is Atring. My dad introduced himself and told her that he is a Garibay hoping that he might know my lola.

          After the long walk, I showed my picture of Lola Atring to my other lola, Lola Lica. She told me that she knows her and said that Lola Atring knows my grandmother but just forgot because she was also a teacher like my grandmother. She told me that she walks everyday on a rocky path from her daughter's house and walks for so long to visit her old house, alone, smoking her tobacco.
