everything but the kitchen sink

I *may* have followed this woman for a few blocks trying to get a shot of her new sink. I wish I’d seen the place where she purchased it – I did go into one store that was nearby and saw their section titled “quincalla” (hardware) but never made it to the section for “fregaderos de cocina” (kitchen sinks).

exhausting

This is an extremely typical street scene, with a tight mix of cars and people and streetcar tracks and motorcycles. And cobblestones and asphalt and potholes and puddles. Oh, and some exhaust fumes, too.

dancers, 6

Here’s one last look (for now, anyway) of dancers from the Dance Cuba performance that we were privileged to see.

it was his move

If I knew anything more than just the most basic of things about chess, perhaps I could offer an analysis of what was going on in this street-side game.

So, really, the only thing I can offer is to note that it’s cool the way those chess pieces are the same color as the wall.

estefanía and kids and cars

The ballet dancer attracted a group of onlookers, including these kids. She was gracious enough to pose with them and everyone seemed pretty happy about it.

(As an added photographic bonus there was a row of vintage cars parked right there.)
