Mahima Intersection








These are shots that Fred took. They are from the park across from Mahima. It is one of the few truly pretty places here in the city. Unfortunately, they have fenced it all in. Luckily is a wrought iron fence so you can still see it. On the weekends there are many wedding parties getting their pictures there and it is just beautiful seeing everyone wearing the same material (men and women) but in different styles. The round white and green buildings a newly opened restaurant, we haven;t been yet. I would say this is the busiest intersection in the city. There is a traffic light, but it doesn't do much good, so there are usually one or two traffic cops there too. They are dresses in lovely blue uniforms with white boots and gloves and most importantly, a whistle. I can't imagine standing in the heat all day. This is also where the most beggars are. They all have some physical deformity and put there heads right into the car as they call Pete "Patron" and me "Madam" or "Mama". It is heartbreaking and repulsive all wrapped in one big guilt trip.
