I am still trying to figure out how to get pictures up to the blog. But don´t worry, they will be coming soon. We had a wonderful last day in Mexico City. Sandra and Arturo took us to the Cathedral of the Virgin of Guadalupe. The first church here was built on the hill where Juan saw the vision of the Virgin. Since then there have been about 4 more churches built, the most recent is a more modern looking church. We were there on a Wednesday and they were saying mass and the church was full. Matt´s estimate is that there was upwards of 1,000 people there. There are many more that come to pray, ask for help, and light a candle on the 12th of December in honor of the Virgin. It was really a wonderful experience.
We had dinner with all of Sandra and Heriberto´s family... they really treated us and we all went to an Italian Restraunt! Don´t worry Barb, Matt still thinks your Chicken picatta is the best.
Later that evening Matt and I went up to the top of the World Trade Center of Mexico City where they have a rotating restruant, not unlike the space needle in Seattle. The vastness of the city was even more impressive from here as it was night and you could see all the lights.

Hi guys! Hope your trip is going well. Matt's e-mail didn't work so I figured I'd comment at least. Always welcome in Chicago if you ever make it back to the States!
