The Grito

Buildings downtown are lit up in September for the celebration of Independence.
All over Mexico, on September 15th at midnight, the head of government (president, governor, mayor, etc) reenacts the first cry for independence which was shouted in 1810. It's a big deal, and every year the youth group goes down. This year, we were there together with 80,000 in the downtown area.
I got in the spirit & put on a Mexican hat!
Some of the others who went. Me, Raul, Sarai, and Ruben in front.
After the "cry", fireworks galore! My friend Magos.
