Viva Mexico

Happy Birthday Mexico! 201 years old. I felt very Mexican over the weekend, getting all decked out in green, white and red. then, listening to the national anthem and hearing praise songs. then the Grito. And even though I wasn't thinking about Mexico's Independence at the time, it was still cool to be there. to hear the names of those heroes being called out. to see the fireworks and watch the confetti. to feel like a part of Mexico, even if it is a very insignificant part. I felt proud to be part Mexican. Proud to be an MK. Even if it means going to places I don't want to go and forcing myself to eat soup that tastes nasty! Anyway, VIVA MEXICO!!
