independance Day parade, San Miguel de Allende, Mexico
At this time of the year, almost on a daily basis, we hear the drums of one parade or another at the end of our street. In this instance, we dashed out to meet the Independence Day parade on Mesones while it was crossing Relox. The parade goes on for about an hour and includes practically everyone in San Miguel who has a uniform – including all the schoolchildren. Add to this the marching bands of every school, and the sirens of the Police, Fire Brigade, and Ambulances, and it is hard to miss.
