I Have Something to Say
[b]Mexican Holidays[/b]
Today is Independence Day. Flags are so thick in my town they almost blot out the sky. Patriotic music pours from every doorway. Traditional clothing from days gone by is pulled from musty trunks to see yet another parade and the aroma of guisados and goat roasting over charcoal is thick. Rising above everything is the sound of laughter and friends greeting each other. And always the grito: Viva Mexico! Viva la Revolución! Vive la Independencia!
I am so sad to miss it this year!
