After the last day of training, I went straight to an old church (another student recommendation).
San Xavier del Bac is considered the finest example of Mexican baroque architecture in the US. I'm afraid I was not impressed with this one. It was built in 1783 and looks very worn. I wonder how the old churches in Europe are able to survive.

| A side chapel fill of candles. I guess people go in there to light a candle for the dead or dying. |
