toque de morisco

Many people may not believe it, but México is a country full of immigrants, with a significant amount of them in Mexico City.  There is a Chinatown and a Little Italy, as well as Jewish and French cemeteries.  However, even with this knowledge, I was intrigued by the discovery of a Moorish kiosk in the old neighborhood of Santa María la Ribera.  Originally built as México's entry for the 1902 World Fair in St. Louis, this iron structure has become the main landmark for this historical part of the city...and is now my own fave spot for people-gazing =)





Let's make music, ¿sí?
