Mexican Independence Day Parade






















Mexican Independence Day Parade. There were hundreds of school children marching in it. They looked pretty tired by the time they got to where I was standing. The above photo is of eggs filled with confetti. Not real eggs. Maybe they are paper. I didn't look too closely at them. People throw them at each other. I love the dancing horses, although it is sad to see how they are trained. They are hit many times in the legs until they learn to dance. (P.S. Last night I checked out those eggs. They are REAL eggs that have been blown out and stuffed with confetti. There were thousands of them last night at the celebration. What a lot of work.....and then a lot more work cleaning up the confetti after the eggs were thrown at people.)
