A Jaunt to an Archive

The other day, last week or so, Olivia and I went with Justin to an archive--Centro de Estudios de Historia de Mexico. It's walking distance from our apartment. There are cobblestone streets and a neat little church by it. Always nice to get out and see new things. This was a nice photo making day. Lots of unexpected surprises, which is always the best.

There are some really nice houses around here. Here's a window of one of them.

Outside of another house, there was this nice altar for the Virgin of Guadalupe, also known as Our Lady of Guadalupe.

The church.

Behind the church, there is a small garden and more houses. I saw this nice looking old Chevy parked on the side of the street. (Does anyone know the model and year?) Time for black and white mode.



Cactus growing along fence.

There are some cool flowering trees growing here, Angel's Trumpet.

Olivia likes to build "fires" with sticks. When we leave, she "puts them out" by kicking them over.

Walking back home...

A neat sculpture. Chimalistac is the name of the torres we live in.

There is a cool book sculpture outside of a bookstore called Gandhi.
