p-day to an amazing library and Russian cafe

On the way to the library we saw this old amazing central plaza

With lots of tile and paint work, it reminds me of a large gazebo



A photo spot



A fun Russian cafe across from the park.  A bowl of hot borsch for me.  I asked for no cream and look what I got.  

The bread was delicious.  We bought a whole loaf from their bakery.

This is the Vasconcelos library.  It is ranked as one of the most amazing 18 libraries of world.  It is a block long and about 5 stories high.  

This giant reptile structure hangs suspended  from the ceiling

And yes the book shelves also hang suspended from the ceiling as well.  It is just a little eerie to lean over and take pictures from the railing.
