Mexico - 199 years, 363 days old...

Mexico is turing 200 years old!  I always love Independence Day here (September 16, and the celebrations start on the 15th at night), but this year will be extra special, as there is so much going on for the Bicentenial!  JP and I, and several friends are going here on the 15th at night:

This is a plaza in front of the State Capitol building.  The governor will do the "grito" which is a tribute to the people who helped Mexico become independent.  Somehow I have a feeling that we'll end up down some alleyway somewhat close to the plaza, as there will surely be THOUSANDS of people here...

The town is decked out in Independece Day decor, and we are too!
I'll definitely post pictures after the celebration!!
