We ended up having a bit of a sleep in and lazy start to the day.... Nothing like a nice relaxing morning....we headed down stairs and had desayno( cafe con leche and tostados) and headed out in search of t-shirts for all my kidlets.....we spread the love amongst a couple of stores as I find as they all get older it is harder to find appropriate ones.... But I did.... I hope!! We made it to the Cathedral in time for Mass at noon so I left mom there and brought my goods back to the hotel....I headed back and went in and sat with mom until mass was over....I sat and watched as everyone went up for communion and was watching the nun giving make sure that everyone was receiving the host in their mouth..... She was very gentle about it.... There were so many ppl with different ways of receiving....after mass we went out on the front steps and just watched the ppl in Obradoira Square.... Tour groups..... Classes....peregrinos arriving celebrating..... Mom turned to me with the biggest smile on her face and said I just can't believe I am in Santiago with my baby and it was at that point that I realized how much this all meant to her.....we headed out on a chu chu train ride that brought us on a tour of the whole old city including through the university campus.....it was a nice way to see it all.... We found some lunch at a nice cafe then headed back to our room for a siesta....after we ended up going for another walk trying take other routes and window shopped along the way.... I ended up buying a carrier of things... Not a purse I keep telling my mom.... It is a carrier of things!!! Somehow we always find ourselves back the square just people watching.... We ended up sitting there for a few hours just taking it all in....we ended up talking to a couple of ladies from Australia after I so graciously laid on the ground to takes pics of them with the cathedral in the back.... They were leaving on the train to Paris when we were flying..... When they heard how much our flight was they was they wished us well and hoped we didn't have to flap our own wings or blow the plane there.... But I assured them that I had done my research and it was a reputable company..... But I may of been a bit worried now!!! Then my I have to eat now mood kicked in and we headed out for supper ended with a night cap on the terrace at our hotel.... Perfect Day.... Off to Paris tomorrow!
