Pelican Park
Monika's brother Matteo has worked hard to make the park next to the apartment building into a place people from the neighborhood can enjoy. Doing so has not been easy. The park has ponds, and Matteo has selected fish as well as the surrounding plants. Matteo has had to convince people not to harm the fish and the plants. In the center of one of the ponds is a statue of a pelican, which is the focal point of the park. The park now has an industrial strength ping-pong table that always seemed to be in use whenever we walked by the park in the afternoon, and a ping-pong tournament was scheduled for early October. A less sturdy table had previously been vandalized. I have never met Matteo, but we probably would get along well.
