INDEPENDENCIA


Mexico Celebrates Independence Day
Mexico celebrated 202 years of independence this past Sunday. The festivities focused around the Plaza de la Constitución, or Zócalo, in Mexico City – one of the largest public plazas in the world. Every September 15 at 11PM, the President of Mexico rings a bell and yells a cry of patriotism called the “Grito de Dolores” out to half a million spectators while waving a Mexican flag.
