I guess it was kind of good we didn't go to school on Friday! That way we could show the godmothers around!!
                     Throughout the day, we shopped a whole lot!!! I find it really fun to just tag along and walk around the city. We chilled at our house for a bit before we went back out to go to the Virgen of Guadalupe's festival and then eat dinner.
                      Every saint's festival is different and quirky, but this one is by far the most celebrated one and it was really fun. We started to walk up the steps to reach the church at the very top when we bought some churros for a snack. We marveled at the way people had set up stands with bricks under one side of the stand to level it out! We made it up there and mass was underway, so we walked around outside and ate some tamales and drank some punch that was given to us. We walked down some stairs when my mom and I remembered to do a prayer to "la Virgen," so we stopped and said a prayer that went something like this:
"Dear Virgen,
I don't really believe you exist 
but on the off chance you do
I would love it if you would complete this wish for us
Please give us good luck for our soccer games tomorrow
Thanks"
If she really exists I have no idea why she would grant us this wish since we don't believe in her but it was worth a try!!
                   It was freezing (every night seems to get colder and colder!!) and we talked with Maya and Pao (who we saw on the andador). Maya kept asking me to give her hugs because she was so cold!! We ate dinner and then walked home.
