Café on a corner
Interesting. I am still having problems getting posts from my iPhone to include both pictures and words. If I use a picture, the words disappear. Anyway, we had a nice time at the café. It’s a beautiful neighborhood, not far from us and just around the corner from Theresa. 3 comments to Café on a cornerLeave a Reply |

I tried to comment yesterday and couldn’t.Ahem, So, you were one block from my house and didn’t call!!! sniff!
It is a totally cute cafe, we stumbled upon it one Sunday (the only morning that it is open!).
BTW, I used to have a heavy duty Mexican juicer but whimped out and bought an eletric one, but I hardly ever make juice (I somehow always forget to do it),
regards,
Theresa
I was curious about the bust shown in the photo. I’d never heard of Alfredo Barrera Vasquez (not surprising — I’ve never heard of most of the folks whose faces are found on monuments throughout the city). Turns out he was an eminent anthropologist/linguist/Mayanist, who was involved in the development of a number of cultural/research institutions here.
Learn something new everyday — thanks for the inspiration!
Here’s the Wikipedia link: http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfredo_Barrera_V%C3%A1squez
That’s interesting about Vasquez, I read the wiki link. I’ve seen the institute of Mayan language, I think it is on 59 in Santiago. I wonder if that is the one that he started.
Theresa, it was spur of the moment and late in the afternoon. They were having an opening of photos from a school that evening, some were very nice.
