Under the Big Top

The circus came to town. On Tuesday and Thursday mornings I teach an English class at a pharmaceutical company. This is what I saw when I got up from the metro station.

Last week it was just an empty parking lot, which I liked better because I had an unobstructed view of the Andes. I can usually see a nice chunk of the range from here. I'm always the only one ogling; everyone else bustles in and out of the metro station. It feels strange to me when this beautiful vista is blocked by man-made objects.

What's more, I don't really like circuses or zoos for the obvious reasons. Check out this cool story about a zoo in Chile that rescues circus animals--and puts visitors in cages.
