Copper and Catholicism




Today was pretty exciting. In the morning we went to a nurses meeting for work. There were about twenty nurses that came, which was a great turn out. After the meeting. Joanne, Katrina, and I ventured to Santa Clara de Cobre- which is known for their hand made copper products. There were so many beautiful things it was hard not to buy everything. Although, I did purchase a very cool pitcher and mirror.
On our way back home we ran into a parade on our street! There was a band, fireworks, balloons, and of course... Jesus (?) From what we could gather, they were moving the statue of Jesus from the church of San Francisco downtown to various neighborhoods in Patzcuaro for the whole week in honor of St. Daniel (?) And so, Jesus's first stop was in our barrio of Calvario. It was a lot of fun to march with the parade and I think the band got a real kick out of us being there.

In other news, I also got bitten by a fire ant.
