Mass was on and the church was packed. Inside is like a beautiful art gallery/museum. The ceiling is painted and the altar is gold except for a silver frame around the Macarena-
Outside the church she is also on the wall in tile-
I walked to the Cementerio de San Fernando because it is All Soul's Day. It wasn't nearly as busy as in Guatemala. There are some crazy monuments though. A waiter in a local bar thought this man was a bullfighter, who lost-
This man definitely was a toreador-
And others with real flowers-
which they sell outside the cemetery-
A few tombs were open. Inside there's a steep ladder going down-
With room on the sides for coffins-
Last night I decided I would visit the Cathedral this afternoon. I looked for tickets online and there were lots so I waited until today to buy mine. Well, wouldn't you know it but they were sold out - not just for today but for tomorrow too. So, I wasn't able to visit the Cathedral or climb the minaret. Too bad.
This afternoon I went to Bohemian Rhapsody, in V.O. - Version Original so in English. It was awesome. When it was over and the credits rolled, no one moved. It was like we all wanted more. Poor Freddy Mercury had rather a sad life-
After supper I went for a short walk in the dark. There were so many people out and about. They don't have back yards to spend time in so they all hit the streets, either walking or jogging, or riding bikes. I had some churros and chocolate for dipping but the churros were rather soggy and not nearly sweet or crispy enough for my liking. The chocolate was okay, sort of like thick chocolate milk-
