Mexican Independence Day!
September 16, 2011 No CommentsI take a brief pause from my experiences in China to share some pictures of Mexico, and in this way join the celebrations throughout the country. These are just some pictures I took this year (except for one). They are not necessarily the best ones, and they don’t represent all of Mexico either. It is just a brief selection that I now share with you.

I begin with a dawn in a distant town in the middle of the Peninsula of California, also known as Baja. Mulegé, B.C.S. 2011.

Mulegé is divided by a river, which is surrounded by date palm trees. The river continues and passes next to the old lighthouse. Mulegé, B.C.S. 2011.

The old legend says that this is the place that inspired the Eagles to compose "Hotel California." Todos Santos, B.C.S. 2011

My dear San Cristóbal de las Casas. Certainly a magic town. Days and nights seem to come out from a fairy tale. Time seems to stop in this place where life has a mix of serenity from some streets and the life and party from other ones. I could speak and write for hours about this place. San Cristóbal de las Casas, Chis. 2011.

Detail in the Plaza de Armas and the Metropolitan Cathedral in downtown Guadalajara. Guadalajara, Jal. 2011.

Mariachis at the Historical Downtown in Mexico City during an event to promote the Pan-American Games in Guadalajara. Unfortunately I won't be there to participate, I had registered as a volunteer, maybe for the next one. Mexico City. 2011.

And finally what is known as the Angel of the Independence to commemorate the Independence of Mexico. Mexico City, 2010.
With these pictures I send my best wishes to all my friends and family in Mexico. I also join the “grito” with them to celebrate the Mexican Independence. ¡Viva México!
