I just noticed this view while sitting in the computer chair in our departamento. There's a cross on a steeple top left that you may not be able to see. We bought the little albahaca (basil) plant at the organic fair last Saturday.
DINERO, DINERO, DINERO
I'm counting out the money for our new casita. We were walking around, having looked at 2 horrible places for rent on Saturday, when we came across this sign.
I called the number on the sign and the couple inside opened the door and invited us in. Mario(Mexican) and María (American) are a young couple moving to Mexico City at the end of the month. They showed around the place and called the landlady and let me talk to her. Today we took her a big pile of pesos (the house rents for $520 US per month) to pay for 3 months rent in advance.
It's on the Andador Venustiano Carranza (a mouthful, but his parents must have known what they were naming him because he's a hero of the Mexican revolution). We take possession on Nov. 1.
Notice that it's on an andador, a pedestrian walkway. It's also in the centro of the centro histórico, close to everything.
This is the other end. The Plaza de Armas, one of the prime locations for outdoor concerts, festivals, and good restaurants, is just behind this view. But the walls are thick.
Interior pictures to come.
