This is the cathedral next to the plaza in the center of downtown. It was very ornate on the outside with lots of carvings and a big statue of Jesus at the top. Over the door, the carvings looked more indigenous.
At the front of the church was this amazing mural that covered the walls and ceiling.
Another view of the mural, plus you can see a boy looking at the baby Jesus in a cradle near the Christmas tree. People were posing by the baby Jesus doll in the cradle there and having their photos taken, so I didn't feel bad about taking photos in the church.
Off to the right was this statue of Jesus.
In one of the side niches, another statue of Jesus.
And another view of the inside of the church.
We tried to visit the Museum of Contemporary art but it was closed for the holiday. This was a massive statue of a pigeon out front.
I thought it was cool that there are poinsettas growing in the gardens in the plaza here.
A daytime view of the Christmas tree that advertises for a brand of drink/pop. You can see the big blow-up bottles around the bottom there, and under that golden tinsel roof was a nativity scene.
Would you like to shop at Athlete's Foot? 
Another Christmas tree on the other end of the plaza, but this one was just tinsel and lights, no advertisements this time.
We decided to see the whole nativity play tonight. It was really neat.
Joseph came out with Mary on a real donkey and then walked past the inns that told them they were full for the night. It was a really neat thing to do for Christmas.
