Last Saturday we left "Los Girasoles" Restaurant at dusk. Here are some pictures that we took.
The statue of King Charles IV is silhouetted against the early evening sky. Created by architect and sculptor Manuel Tolsá, it is considered one of finest equestrian statues in the world. Because of anti-Spanish sentiment when Mexico won its independence, it came to be nicknamed "El Caballito" (The Little Horse) as if the King weren't even there.
Alejandro took this photo of busy HIdalgo Avenue with the belltowers and domes of the churches of San Juan de Dios and Santa Veracruz.
The Latin American Tower, one of the city's most iconic skyscrapers and the downtown flagship Sears building.
The Palace of Fine Arts is illuminated at night. In the tents next to it a book fair was being held. Other vendors had spread their wares on the sidewalk. Downtown may be quiet on weeknights, but on weekends it is thronged with people until quite late.
