¡¡¡VIVA MÉXICO!!!

Uno de los eventos que siempre me han emocionado es el tradicional Grito de Independencia de México. Me impresiona la emoción que se puede sentir en esta tradicional fiesta. Mi sentimiento se ha acentuado porque he estado fuera de México por 10 años.

Este año, como el pasado, pudimos festejar con varios cientos, si no es que miles de amigos – no todos mexicanos, pero que igual se unen – para celebrar nuestra independencia al ritmo de música de mariachis.

Esta es la liga a YouTube para ver un video casero de la fiesta. Para mi fue muy emocionante y para rematar, al final nos tomamos unas fotos con la embajadora, María Cristina de la Garza Sandoval, Frida Kahlo y Diego Rivera… o sus reencarnaciones :o).

¡¡¡VIVA MÉXICO!!!

One of the events that have always thrilled me the most is our traditional independence day Grito de Independencia, in Mexico. By the way it is not on May 5^th, but on Sep 16^th, and only to make matters a bit more confusing, we start celebrating the night of the 15^th. I feel most impressed by all the energy and power of the event. My feelings are even deeper because I have lived out of Mexico for the last 10 years.

This year, as we did last, we got together with a few hundreds, perhaps thousands of friends – not all of them Mexican, but just the same we gathered – to celebrate our independence, mariachi music included.

This is the link to YouTube to see a home made video of it. It all was charged with a thrill, the highlight for me was at the end when we got some pictures taken with the ambassadress, María Cristina de la Garza Sandoval, with Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera… or their re-incarnations :o).
