Independence

16th September was Mexican Independence day so there were lots of celebrations whilst I was there. They had a big stage set up in the main square - where they had lots of bands playing. Everyone congregated there the night before - when they had a new years eve style count down and fire works at midnight.
This parade may or may not have been for independence day - but it's got music!!!

I was in Mexico for Guatemala Independence Day (15th September) so missed the celebrations - but the school across the road from my house have been practicing their marching drummers every night for about the last 6 months - so I feel I've had a flavour of it!!! But more next year!
