A day like today, 188 years ago, Mexico, led by Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla, won their independence from Spain. During this day Hidalgo proclaimed the battle cry known as Grito de Dolores, from which the famous saying of VIVA MEXICO comes from. It is tradition for the President of the Republic to reenact the well known Grito from the balcony of the National Palace at El Zocalo, Mexico City and for proud mexicans to gather at la Plaza de la Constitucion, also at el Zocalo, to watch him. As you can imagine, mariachis, tequila, and Corona or Cerveza Sol play a very important role in the celebration that began yesterday night and lasts all day today.
Swing by our meeting today to celebrate the Independence of my beautiful (AWESOME!) country with some mexican appetizers while listening to some mariachis.
Y que VIVA MEXICO CABRONES! VIVAAAAA!!
