Scrub
An afternoon scrub after the rain somewhere along Canal de Miramontes in Coyoacán, Mexico City.
Keeping things clean is a common struggle in this city. Sometimes, dust just seems to appear out of thin air within seconds of its removal. This sweeping and scrubbing of sidewalks is a practice that still intrigues me given

La Poli
With reason, police in Mexico are usually viewed with a great deal of distrust and cynicism by the Mexican citizenry. This does not necessarily reflect the fact that many in law enforcement are just like any ordinary individual looking to make ends meet and desires a better Mexico. I have several friends and acquaintances who work at the municipal and federal level who genuinely show an interest in serving their fellow compatriots. Sometimes I wonder how much corruption may really be the exception and not the rule, as many are lead to believe here in Mexico.
