Bonito Juarez Day!

March 15 was a special day in Mexico - a day to celebrate Benito Juarez, one of the leaders of Mexico who was instrumental in defeating the French and leading the revolution in Mexico.



Parades are the order of the day when there is something to celebrate in Mexico, and this parade went right by the bookstore, complete with a brass band (well, ok, 4 guys with trumpets, but it sounded like a full band!).




The whole procession ended in the church for mass and then poured back onto the streets for another turn around the square.




This was the littlest member of the parade, dressed in his finest! Viva Mexico!!!!!
