My future neighbor, Lila Downs

I got a google alert about this singer from Oaxaca, Lila Downs (Scottish American father, Mexican mother) signing a recording deal with Sony.  I downloaded some of her stuff and she is really good.  I have been listening to her a lot because she is so good and because it's another way to reinforce learning Spanish.

So my landlord, Anthony was over a little while ago and I had her music on.  He said, "Oh, Lila Downs.  She is building a house right down the street."  I said, "Whaaa . . . ."

So here is a picture I just took from my living room window.  Her house is the big one that does not have the finish siding applied, no windows, etc.  Clearly much work to do on a very big house.
