*** i hope you enjoyed an afternoon in san angel and a peek at diego y frida’s studio, the deco era modernist masterpiece ***
Nice pics. This neighborhood is kind of like the "urban progressive" neighborhood of DF, along with Coyocan. Lots of university professors, mid-level govt. officials and the like.
My wife was born and raised in San Angel. I would call it more "upper middle class" in the Mexican context than really "wealthy"; the wealthy parts of DF tend to be on the west end of the city, while the south end tends to be more uniformly middle-upper middle class.
