California and Pachuca

Patrick and I had the awesome opportunity to go down to Mexico and visit the areas where he served. First stop,

California!

Mexico City

We have arrived! We went to the Mexico City Temple and did some initiatories.

My first meal in Mexico!

Pachuca

Governor's Mansion

The tower in the center of the town.

KFC...

A Cathedral in Pachuca

The organ in the Cathedral.

Some dead lady...Just kidding. Her name is Saint Columba. Her body is being preserved in side the Cathedral in this little glass box. She was probably only 4 feet tall. And her face is caving in...

More of the Cathedral.

What you see when you walk in. Wow!

Patrick at his favorite place, the panaderia! They had tons of different types of breads to try!

The city of Pachuca is huge. It is a mining town. The mine was built on the hill so the city started at the hill and built down. It makes walking places a great workout!

This is Pachuca. Well, a small part of it. It extends in every direction from here.

This is the mine.

This is where Patrick lived.

The giant flower clock in a park. It really does work and usually has more flowers around the boarder.

There is a legend behind this tree. There are supposed to be a little boy a girl hugging the tree. I still can't really see them. I'm told that one is on the very left of this picture and the other is on the right.


More colorful buildings.

Rosa and two of her three children. This room was so small. The back wall that you see is the whole back wall. The length of the room was two times the length of the back wall. They do have one more room and a tiny kitchen outside this one.

More to come!
