Coffee with a Tree

I was in Mexico City last week, for the first of what we hope will be many visits.  The weather there right now is perfect, so the locals throw all their doors open and leave them that way.  They really know how to blur the boundary between outside and inside.  

This is the bookstore and cafe across the street from the Anthropology museum, built right around an existing tree.  Even though the building sits in a park with plenty of trees, they still chose to keep this one.  

This space would not be anywhere near so rich, engaging, and inviting without that tree there.    And yes, the doors were wide open, too.  Lovely.
