Downtown Coyoacan

Weekends at our neighborhood plaza in Coyoacan are usually one big party. You can see everything from dancing to mimes performing in the plaza. We wander over to the plaza several times a week, since it is considered the downtown of our neighborhood. But lately we rush through the crowds, focusing on where we need to go. So it's nice to have visitors around to give us a reality check, and help us slow down and enjoy the little things around us.

We took a stroll this weekend through the plaza with my mother-in-law and a friend. They helped remind me how this city is so full of life.
