Plaza Ildefonso

Plaza Ildefonso

Last night we took our dinner to the streets like many of our neighbors. Every evening groups of mostly young people gather on the square to share a beer and some food as the sun goes down and the air cools. The shadowy figure standing off the center of the photo is one of five wandering Chinese cerveza vendors who were working the square that evening. They are also our neighbors who live below us. We ate some pizza, someone played a guitar, dogs barked, and we went to bed. (We live in the building behind the construction site in the background. Although they are promising some swanky lofts in this new building none of us have ever seen anyone working on the project.)
