I guess we weren't very good Mexicans, Wed night, Gringation: we strolled around on Av Tulum, and through Parque de las Palapas, to see what was going on. It all seemed pretty low key, but pleasant. Then, we went home and watched the Grito on national television, where the after Grito show had some good entertainment. Did we miss anything by going to bed early? A couple of things struck me about this event (200th Anniversary); the first was that it seemed to take people by surprise! What I'm taking about is the State Government deciding at the last minute to make it a four day weekend; then, a few days later, the National Government deciding to make it a five day weekend. Couldn't these questions have been decided a little sooner, with 200 years to think about it? The other thing that struck me was that it wasn't obvious to me that local people considered it all that much of a big deal. I wasn't in the U.S. for the bicentennial, so I don't know if it was any different, there.
went to the plaza, ate off the carts, listened to the music, watched the Xcaret dancers (I think they did most all of their nighttime show) and then the Grito, QRoo anthem, National anthem and fireworks. Yawn. Since I work for a US company I had to be at work early the next am. YAWN. independence day 2010 011 | Flickr - Photo Sharing! (3 of my 4) independence day 2010 018 | Flickr - Photo Sharing!

Don't remeber much after midnight but I was fumbling for my house keys at 4:30 am. Just like the old days till Trina and Bundy got too worn out to keep up. Je je. I was in La Taberna at some time and they told me V had stopped by but left at his usual time.
