The end of an era

  

The end of an era

Remember the charming little church I sent out photos of; Guadalupe Toreros; the bullfighters church, constructed of adobe and completed about 1920.  It served the small community of San Luisito, which no longer exists, for decades.

It was already crumbling when I first saw it.

 

Last time I passed by I saw that now the bell tower has fallen down too.  Time and weather have had their way with it.

 

There are people that still care about the church, but by they got around to a campaign to renovate, it was too late.  There are plans to rebuild it on the original footprint though.
