On the Beatnik trail in Mexico City
A child walks past a fountain at the Luis Cabrera Plaza in Mexico City. An obligatory stop on any Beat tour is Plaza Luis Cabrera, on Orizaba at Zacatecas Street, an attractive cafe-ringed plaza with trees and a fountain. In the 1950s it was a favorite hangout for Beat writers talking nirvana in a haze of marijuana, heroin and alcohol. AP Photo/Alexandre Meneghini
