Yesterday, Dan and I walked about ten kilometers around Laurelles, where we are staying all the way to the markets in El Centro. The streets cape is a fascinating mix of small sole proprietor industrial shops (fabrication, automotive) right beside retailers and restauranteurs; all of th is spills organically onto the pedestrian walkway in a manner that we would consider thoughtful urban design.
The many public works projects are impressive and well utilized. Fitness seems an integrated part of people's lives here as exemplified by the massive multi block received complex in the heart of the city.
Today we're gonna take the metro out to the cable cars n the northern part of the city and then tonight begins month long festival of lights.
