Today is our last day in Mexico and we visited the famous silver mining capital of the world, called Taxco. The town looked a lot like Greece or Spain, as some might say. We saw the Father Federico´s church and home at which he took us up on the roof. It was a surreal moment in all of our lives. Though a little scary for those who were afraid of heights, it was also a perfect photo-op. All combinations of people were used in the pictures, boys, girls, women, men, and families. We then broke into groups and our particular group went to a pizzeria for lunch. When we went silver shopping, Father Scott told us that pure silver would be marked with a 925 on the back. For a gift last night, the Bishop gave everyone a cross specially made for the diocesan center. Many of us got a chain or ribbon to put the cross on. When our long and wonderful day was over, we headed out onto the hilly roads. We got on the bus and to our surprise the bus was hotter than the air outside! On the ride home, many fell asleep but woke up when the food came around. In the past few days our feelings toward the people who have been with us since the start have grown and changed.
