The next morning she went to the Cathedral around 9:30 to admire its art treasures and to wait for the Pilgrims Mass.<BR>
As she was studying the details of the Portico de la Gloria she found herself shoulder to shoulder with Martin Sheen. She tells us that she smiled at him happily surprised and blurted out "You are Martin Sheen", and he told her smiling" I'm just another pilgrim today".<BR>
Maribel recounts that he was alone, wearing simple jeans and a tee shirt and without sun glasses or any of the accruements of movie stars. She recalls that he remained in the Cathedral until the Pilgrims Mass and that while quite a few people recognized him and shook his hand no one seemed to ask him to pose for photographs or to write autographs.<BR>
After Mass he went out of the Cathedral with the throng of worshipers.... just another pilgrim.<BR>
