A COOL CATHEDRAL: Ada (Bug) de la Garza poses with her mom, Jennifer Lueckemeyer, and her younger brother, Henry de la Garza, inside of the Metropolitan Cathedral of Mexico City. Built by Spanish colonizers in the late 1500s, de la Garza enjoyed the chance to see its famous catacombs, complex architecture and golden statues and archways.

“I’m not very religious, but it was breathtaking and ornate,” de la Garza said. “I thought it was really interesting because I’ve never seen a church that big or that fancy, and it just blew my mind.”

After being awed by the Metropolitan Cathedral of Mexico, de la Garza decided to visit other cathedrals in Mexico City. De la Garza also visited the pyramids outside of Mexico City, markets and five museums.

“I really liked seeing the art and the buildings because it’s a lot different than stuff in the United States,” de la Garza said.

While de la Garza enjoyed traveling to Mexico City, she admits there were some difficulties, due to the language barrier and the fact that the trip was her first time going to another country.

“Customs were kind of a lot, and there were a bunch of things I had to get used to,” de la Garza said.

Despite the challenges traveling internationally for her first time presented, de la Garza was grateful for the experience.

“It was really fun, and I think it was worth it,” de la Garza said. “ I felt like I learned a lot and would be able to travel internationally more easily now.”
