At the local Mustang garage

There is a Mustang garage which does old car restoration next to Estadio Azul, they were working on an old Mercedes, some Porsches and 3 or 4 mini coopers.

Winter clothing : a tshirt, a coat and a warm hat, perfect for the weather condition of December (temperature range between 6C to 23C roughly).

Snow in Mexico city !

Here is some photograph showing snow in Mexico city, near Felix Cuevas.

People enjoying the snow in Mexico city.

People wear boots, sweaters, it's cold in DF ! (About 23C during the day)

A few Instagram's

My cousin asked me, how does Mexico looks like ? So I went out and took a few pictures with my telephone. Here is the result of this 30 minutes walk in the Col. del Valle neighborhood.

Oxygen bar ad on James Bond poster- I like the "95% pure" which could make you think you`ll breath raw oxygen.
I don't know what this tall green thing is, but there is a "Greek" hotel on the other side of the streer, El Greco !
A weird and ugly sculpture made of pipes.
The menu of a little restaurant, lot's of french names ! (openWiFi at this spot too).

Large houses in this area.
Laaaarge house.

Gardening

This is the Jardin del Arte, where the little church Iglesía del Señor del Buen Despacho is.
The gardener turned the tress into animals or even planes. They are good at it.

Real Hospital Del Divino Salvador Para Mujeres Dementes

The Real Hospital Del Divino Salvador Para Mujeres Dementes, is located in front of the Teatro de la Ciudad (Donceles 36,Cuauhtémoc, Mexico City).

This faces are above each door.











Michael Nyman Band (Film & Music)

I love more Peter Greenaway's movies, I was enchanted to learn that Michael Nyman and his Band was coming to Mexico city. I bought a ticket for the concert at the Teatro de la Cuidad. The concert was in 2 parts, the second with the band playing while movies were projected.

The overall concert was wonderful, both the band and the piano solos. At the end of the concert Nyman came back on stage 3 times without the public having to shout otra ! otra ! for 5 minutes ;)

After the concert we were told that they will be a second one, free, in the Plaza de la Revolucion (that is, a few Metrobus stops from where I stay), a few days later. This one was also great, with more pianon solos played by Nyman.

Here is a short video (more below) :

Alebrijes !

Pablo Linares (1906 - 1992) invented these monsters he dreamed about when he was sick and unconscious  He called them Alebrijes, by the word they were shouting. They are usually made of papier mâché. There was this strange parade of monsters in Col. Roma neigborhood I couldn't resist to take a few pictures. Enjoy.
