By Sunday, we found ourselves running out of time. I desired to head to downtown and find the Angel De Independencia (also known as the Independence Angel). So we went to breakfast, and while we were walking back, my mother saw some people eating watermelon walking back from the church by our house. So we decided to walk over there and see it. We ended up running into another aunt that I also did not know existed. They talked for a while and my uncle and I walked through the church. The church was built on a pyramid so the foundation is not even, so the church sits slanted. This was my first time inside the church, and it was beautiful. After this got ready, and headed out. My mother, Aunt, and I took the metro to downtown, it was hot and full. Honestly it was pretty suffocating. We finally made it about a half hour later, we took a taxi, and there it was. We walked around, took pictures, went to Starbucks, and made some good memories. We had a great time and it was beautiful. The city is radiant and just full of life. We also went to the biggest church in Mexico and saw where the President comes out to speak. So much history that has come together with the present, it is altogether wonderful and exciting. We even found the street with my name on it. I felt kind of special. We made it back by 6:30pm and I walked over to the theater with my uncle. My cousin and my aunt work there and we know the manager there so we were able to get into the show for free. The show playing was called Dracula Jr. and it was honestly so funny. I am so proud to see the arts alive and well in Mexico and to know the actors as well. After this we went to my favorite Cafe in Coyoacan, El Jarocho and had some Cafe de Olla. I walked to the church and spent time just sitting there. I was there with my cousin and we just talked for about an hour. It was such a good night. It is always so peaceful there to be out at night. Nights like that I will always cherish.
