mexikan

After a long time without seeing eachother, we meet again... now in Mexico City!

Who would have guessed that we would ever see this in Mexico City?

I love modern art ...

Want to guess what this represents?

Give up??

Football players!! can you see the goal keeper?? I loove it!

Now that all the bicentennial parties are over, it is time to go back to normal life.....

I have to say... I was not expecting anything.. I had no idea what was I going to watch

I thought that I was going to see something related to the Independence of Mexico. Probably people wearing costumes to represent the "heroes" of the war for Independence and some representation of the battles...

Instead, I got to see a 2 hours show prepared by artists, designers, theatre directors, dancers, acrobats and indigenous people from all over the country.

And in my opinion it was the perfect representation of what is Mexico now: A wonderfully rich, happy and multicultural country that wants to be recognised for the positive things that we have as a nation.

As with the celebrations in 1910 there was a parade to celebrate our country.

It was expected much of it since over 58 million dollars were spent on the parade and the fireworks.

So I had to be  there to witness some history and to judge by myself.

The parade was at 6pm but I was off from work at 12:30... so I went to grab a bite and sat down in the sidewalk to wait ...

Well, the whole year I have been hearing about the Bicentennial!!!

Of course I don't share the idea of saying that we have enjoyed liberty and freedom as Mexicans since the declaration of Independence was signed on 1821!!  And I of course don't have any reason to celebrate 100 years of the start of t he Mexican Revolution.. we went back like a 1000 years with this revolution so I don't think it is something to be proud of.

However, now that I am in Mexico cityI get to be in the cultural and political capital of my country and thus I have to take advantage of it. Especially since I work and live in a very privileged area of this megalopolis

I went out for a walk and found a burrito place.

Wow!! Best burrito ever!! huge!!! and super good!!
