Dia de Independencia- SEP03

Mexico won it's independence from Spain in 1810.  And on Sept 16th (and the evening of the 15th) people go absolutely nuts and celebrate like crazy.  Flags are everywhere, and people are very excited and patriotic! 

The tradition is for everyone of the city to go to the center (EVERYONE), and then at 11:00 PM they all YELL...VIVA MEXICO! and VIVA each name of the founding fathers, and finish with a final viva mexico!  It is called the Grito (yell) and it was a blast.
