Mexican
Independence

|
I came to see Mexican dancing in the streets, taste the fiesta of celebration food, and enjoy a lot of green, white and red. It was so much more than I ever could have expected. My personal favorite was the dancing. Leo, a teacher at the Montessori Institute, and his troupe gave a dance at the school. I got the close up photos that I could never have gotten Sunday night in the very crowded plaza. |

| As we waited in the plaza for the fireworks, there was some signal that went off in the crowd. I have no idea what it was, but hundreds of people reached for their cans of spray shaving cream. Piedras Negras may never have ever had a flake of snow, but they know what it's like to have white stuff raining down upon them. It looked like a blizzard for a few seconds and nobody was safe. | |||||

| Even the food was green, white and red with these stuffed, green pablano chile peppers, topped with sour cream and pomegranate seeds. It was my personal favorite! | |||||
