Anna is on one of her globe-spanning trips - this time to Mexico and Colombia. We haven't seen many photos other than food, but she sent the one above of The Metropolitan Cathedral of the Assumption of Mary of Mexico City - more commonly known as the Mexico City Cathedral.
According to Wikipedia, it is the largest and oldest cathedral in the Americas. It was built in sections from 1573 to 1813 to replace the original church that was constructed soon after the Spanish conquest of Tenochtitlan, the Aztec capital.
The cathedral as it appeared in 1836, from the other side of the square (the building in the foreground is in the background of Anna's picture).
A meal that Anna ate in Mexico City: los huevos mexicanos!
