Today is his birthday and a National holiday!!
Benito Juárez Day
Commemorated on the third Monday in March, this holiday celebrates Benito Juárez, President of Mexico from 1857 to 1872. He was the first indigenous man to hold the country’s highest political office. Juárez is considered a national hero as he resisted the French occupation, led the country into the modern world and restored the republic. On Benito Juárez Day, most businesses close and many travel for the long weekend. Political events and celebrations take place across the country, including in San Pablo Guelatao, Juarez’s hometown.
I was sitting up in bed with my tea and computer at 7.30 am when I heard the familiar swoosh of hot air...grabbed my camera went to my roof top terrace and snapped these two!!!!
