Interesting. It is quite thought provoking, to see how different religious cults work. For instance this altar, if I may call it by such name, I saw in a cathedral in Mexico City, it got me pondering. The altar is for a saint, whose name I can´t seem to remember, but my point is that it is intriguing how religion works, the power it has, how many many people have gone on and put a lock in the altar, in hope for their prayers to be responded. I think it is a good thing to have faith, and to be committed, but the real power is to put all of your efforts and working as hard as you possibly can for reaching goals and solving problems. Rather than putting a lock and then crossing your arms waiting for something to fall from the sky.
A day in Mexico City´s "centro". I love to spend my weekend days around el Zocalo. There is always something new to see, from fresh expositions to new discoveries within the old colonial constructions. A variety of people, from turists caring their cameras around their neck, to natives doing dances, not to mention the break dancers, and the locals. I will miss this, now that I am moving away.
