Old doors of El Cerrillo neighborhood.

El Cerrillo neighborhood is one of the oldest if not the oldest in San Cristobal de las Casas. I always wonder what is behind all of those old doors. I like to image there is a big patio or garden surrounded by old stuff. For some reason this comes to my mind and even more strange, this thought gives me joy.

This door is certainly not a window, since the window is next to the door and they look completely different. Some doors in Mexico have a permanent step over to prevent the rain from coming inside, although I think this owner went way to far high.
