The Ladies of the Alameda

On this trip back to DF,I was overjoyed to see that Alameda Central had been reopened. After being closed for well over a year for repaving, the park once again became one of the city's favorite spots for strollers, families, and lovers. Alameda reminds us all of just how important green spaces are to city dwellers. For well over 150 years, the park has served as a meeting and gathering place for nearby residents and travelers. Although the paths definitely needed serious repair, it's temporary closure was a loss for those looking for a bit of respite in the heart of the city.

The Classic bronze sculptures that adorn the Alameda, bring both a sense of tranquility and grace to the park. Their watchful eyes make sure all is well. Early spring only enhanced the park's beauty dormant during the colder winter months.
