Revolution Day

Last Sunday, November 20th, Mexico celebrated Día de la Revolución or Revolution Day. On this date, in the year 1910 the revolutionary war to overthrow the dictator Porfirio Díaz, began.

The day here in Sayulita was full of booming fire crackers, a parade complete with a mock battle, food, greased pole climbing and music. Alex and Trace joined their classmates marching in the parade along with all of the other local public and private schools.

Alex enjoyed the spotlight but the Trace-man pretty much looked like a deer caught in headlights. After it was all over they both said it was a lot of fun and would do it again.
