Big birthday parade…
Ignacio José de Allende y Unzaga (January 21, 1769—June 26, 1811) was a captain of the Spanish Army in Mexico who came to sympathize with the Mexican independence movement. He attended the secret meetings organized by Josefa Ortiz de Domínguez, where the possibility of an independent New Spain was discussed. He fought along with Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla in the first stage of the struggle, eventually succeeding him in leadership of the rebellion. Allende was captured by Spanish colonial authorities while he was in Chihuahua and executed for treason.
Today was a huge holiday in SMA to honour their founding Father and I went down town for the parade. Lots of photos so sit back and celebrate the birthday.
No parade with out kids!!
First their were drums
Followed by BIG army trucks.
Then came the bikes….
then girl bikes
Men that climb tall buildings
then the dogs
Sad but true for every horse parade there has to be the inevitable
At last peace comes to the parade, the kids!!!
It was a very huge parade and I followed them down to the main square. On the way took this photo what contrasts!
On the steps of the main church the music flowed and the crowds that gathered were entertained underneath the beautiful clear skies.
It was a few hours well spent and I enjoy parades and the music.
Came home and spent a little time sunbathing then getting Ramona ready for her next journey on Monday.
Tomorrow back to Santa Julia for yes you’ve guessed it……..more windows
Stay safe and healthy!!
Yashi Kochi!!
