SCHOOL CHILDREN PREPARING FOR THE CELEBRATIION OF MEXICAN INDEPENDENCE



On Tuesday, September 13th, around 8:30 a.m., we heard some noise on our side street, Privada Grillo.  All we could hear were feet hitting the pavement.  We looked out the window and saw a lot of school children marching.  The teachers were giving directions and the students were following their commands.



On Wednesday morning, the same thing happend.  This time Bob grabbed the camera and took a few pictures.  This morning, Sam was disappointed that she didn't hear the children at 8:30 a.m.  Just as she was mentioning this around 9:00 a.m., we heard the sounds of drums and horns.  We looked out the window and the children were marching.  Two girls were carrying the school banner, some students were playing the drums and horns, and the others were marching.  Today they looked much more serious and more organized.  Sam did a quick count and figured there were about 120 students.



We guess they were practicing for the big parade that will take place on Friday.

FOR NOW...THAT'S ALL FROM SAN MIGUEL DE ALLENDE!
