One thing on our "to do" list has been to visit the San Juan Bosco church since it is listed in our "Things to do in Tampico" pamphlet. The San Juan Bosco church was rather amazing. It wasn’t as big as the other ones that we have seen but it had some fabulous, beautiful and very large murals inside. It also has many stained glass windows and a lot of gold leafing. A man greeted us and Paul and he visited for a while and I took photos with my camera until the battery was dead. The man was the “padre” and was assigned this parish right out of seminary just three years ago when the other “padre” died. We took our time and Paul had the better camera and we took pictures and a movie or two.  |
