Slideshow from the Mexico Independence Day
Click play (the triangle) to see the show.

On Sept. 15 during the night Mexico celebrated its Independence with a "Grito" (a scream) followed by a day of celebration on the 16th. The reason the main celebration is on the night of the 15th is because that is the night that one of the founders of the country began to shout for Independence then the following day on the 16th the war began. Anyway we hope you enjoy the pictures in this slideshow showing what we did during the celebration. The music is the national anthem of Mexico and the screaming of "Viva Mexico" at the beginning means "Live Mexico" this is the "Grito" from the 15th of this year at the celebration we went to.
