Our Last Day in Mexico :(

After breakfast headed to the Cathedral for Mass. The Cathedral took almost three centuries to build. It has five principal alters and 16 side chapels!!! One of Matt’s friends Gloria joined us and kept Maia amused with her cell phone for the entire Mass! Very different to our Mass … Cardinal Roberto was flanked by body guards and surrounded by paparazzi as he moved up the side of the church in order the start the procession for Mass. There were at least 15 other priests on the alter with the Cardinal. At one point during mass a small dog ran up the aisle and the lady who grabbed it thought it was ours!!! There was a lady sitting next to me whose phone rang during Mass and she answered it!! After the Cardinal said the final prayer fire works went off!! You have to see it to believe it!!

The kids decided to have a early birthday dinner for Matt (his birthday is in January!) instead of a farewell dinner. They all made him cards and we had a very nice last night. Very sad to be leaving. :(
