Aug 26_Sunday_Church
The Cathedral off of Parque Central (Central Park) is a magnificant building. It has a white facade and is especially beautiful when it is lit up at night. The inside is huge and very beautiful. There are many side altars with statues of saints in beautiful display cases. All of these side altars have a place in front to place candles which are well used. There are beautiful altar clothes and some of the statues also have on colorful robes or dresses.
We slept in this morning. We got up to dress for church about 8 am. I wore the ugly skirt I bought for $4 with long johns underneath. We went down for breakfast which was a no show. We packed our study stuff and our journals and headed for the church to check Mass schedules for Sunday then we went to McDonald’s for the big breakfast of eggs and sausage. The Mass was somewhat better this morning. There was no outside noise such as firecrackers or vehicles with PA systems on top blairing out more noise. We had some little Mass booklets that help us navigate the Spanish service better. After church we went to the little restaurant Don and Juan love because of the Chocolate con leche (hot chocolate).
Una pelicula y no estudiar --Time off from studying
Sunday afternoon we took the microbus to Hyper Piaz to go to a movie. We wanted to take Mariana (the 9 year old) to see the penquin movie but I am guessing that will never happen. Anyway the movie was a cheap date but not a great movie at all. It was however in English with Spanish subtitles!
Back home for our little bit of dinner and a good nights sleep.
