The cry of El Grito!
Viva Mexico Independence!
200 years!
September 16, 1810 - September 16, 2010
It is interesting that they celebrate this date that is the start of the war of independence, it was not until August 24, 1821 that the war ended and Mexico had thrown off the Spanish parasite.
I wish I were there to take part in the celebrations today, they are going to be fabulous!
The Mexicans know how to celebrate.
This year is also the 100th anniversary of the Mexican Revolution, which is celebrated on the day it started as it too took over 10 years for Mexico to go from a dictatorship to a constitutional republic.
More celebrating on November 20th of this year.
Viva Mexico Revolution!
Viva Mexico!

Every hundred years, a war. This one is every bit as bloody as the last two. Every bit as important, too. What's at stake? Who rules Mexico.
