Cancun #26





On the way back from Mercado 23, my mother and I stopped to visit an open air Catholic Church. During the visit, we had a wonderful conversation about life, philosophy, and religion. My mother affirmed her atheist beliefs, while acknowledging a kind of spirituality or connection to all that is. On the other hand, I expressed my belief in a Higher Power, though I admit this being we call God is largely incomprehensible to humans, and may very well appear in ways people can understand. Despite some disagreement, I felt the conversation was very respectful and uplifting, and it was all inspired by our visit to the church.

  2. Yes, mercado means market, and I'm not sure why they're numbered. I think it has something to do with what zone or region they are located within the city.
