Francisco Sosa

I am currently living in the old part of Coyoacan, which used to be its own village and therefore has a small town feel to it. Most likely I will continue to live in this neighborhood for the next two years. There is a main plaza with excellent restaurants, coffee shops, and some bars. Throughout the cobbled, tree lined streets you can find various restaurants, shops, and cultural houses.
This street is called Francisco Sosa. It is a beautiful tree lined street in the heart of Coyoacan.
Some of the trees have trunks the diameter of a car. Flowers on the windowsills of the houses also line Francisco Sosa.This is one of the many narrow alleys off of Francisco Sosa. To say the least, this part of Coyoacan is beautiful!

I can't believe you're living in Coyoacan! I stayed there in 2003 as part of that field campaign; it was indeed gorgeous. Have you visited the food court (well, more like street vendors, only all housed indoors) just off the main plaza (ok, I think it was the "main" plaza, but it was 4 years ago, so the details are a little fuzzy). And are the police still carrying machine guns?

So cool to be able to see where you are living and working. Thanks for the shots. Glad things are going so well!
