1. A quien corresponda
   Soy estudiante de arquitectura en la Universidad de Berkeley en California y estoy próxima a graduarme en Mayo del 2008, sin embargo soy mexicana y me gustaría mucho regresar a trabajar a mi país. Al encontrar su firma/despacho en Internet me sentí atraída a ella y aun cuando mi portafolio y currículum no están totalmente completos pensé oportuno el contactarme con ustedes para ver si hay la posibilidad de trabajo en su despacho. Háganme saber si creen pertinente el enviarles algo (curriculum/muestras de trabajo). Por mi parte, aun cuando tengo mucho que aprender todavía, se que tendré mucho que aportar y seré un peso positivo en su oficina.

   Sinceramente

3. Coyoacán is one of the 16 delegaciones (boroughs) into which Mexico’s Federal District is divided. Coyoacán also is commonly used to refer to the neighborhood at the heart of the borough. The name Coyoacán comes from Nahuatl Coyohuacan, meaning “place where they have coyotes”.
   Although geographically located in the center of the Distrito Federal, Coyoacán has long been considered to be at the southern end of Mexico City. As the southernmost boroughs of the city, especially Xochimilco and Tlalpan, have begun to grow, the view of Coyoacán as the south end of the city may begin to change.
   In pre-Columbian times, Coyoacán was a town of its own and a major center of trade on the southern shore of Lake Texcoco. After the Spanish conquest, Hernán Cortés made his residence there.
   It remained a separate town until 1950, when it was swallowed up by the burgeoning conurbation of Mexico City. Centered on two busy squares, Plaza Hidalgo (the district’s main square) and Jardín Centenario, today’s Coyoacán is known as an upper-middle-class suburb, with a lively bohemian and artistic culture.
   An important street in Coyoacán is Francisco Sosa, beginning at Avenida Universidad and ending in Coyoacán’s main square. This street features large houses with beautiful colonial architecture, and is also lined with bookstores, cafés, and clubs. The Italian Institute of Culture “Instituto Italiano di Cultura” is located on this street at number 77.
   It was home to Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera, and also to Leon Trotsky (Лeв Трóцкий), and the houses they lived in are now both museums. It is served by Metro lines 2 (Metro General Anaya) and 3 (Metro Coyoacán and Metro Viveros).
