During breakfast in the garden, met a young couple who were visiting to check on some furniture to be made in SMA. He lived in many places around the world before finding his bride in Monterrey Mexico. His work takes him to Mexico City, so took his wife while she had some free time from her job. They showed us a photo book by Willy Sousa. The photo and video project is part of a special traveling exhibit for the centennial and bicentennial celebrations. Since the exhibit is now in the Mexico City zocolo - city center, we might be able to see the exhibit and get the book.
Next was to go to see if we could get confirmed for this Saturday tour to old mining town – Pozos. Unfortunately, we were the only two people who had expressed interest. Too bad. Hope we can get to Mexico City a week from now :-
Stopped for a bite to eat at Café Monet, another favorite of ours. Got to meet the owner, Bill Mendenhall. Fun to share stories with him.
From there, on to determine which 7 churches to visit today. Tradition is to visit seven churches for good fortune after participating in the washing of the apostles feet in the main parish church – The Parrochia.
On way around, visit with Guadalupe and Juan, who have snack shop down the street from us. Very nice people.
From 5-7 pm service @ Parrochia, make our round of the churches. There must be a dozen within the square mile of the colonial area. All of them have services, unlike at home with so many closings.
