The 2nd Dia de Independencia


We got to celebrate two independence days this year. Yesterday (Sept. 15th) was Guatemala’s Independence Day. The celebration was a little different than back home though. The main festivities for the day included marching bands, marching bands, and MORE marching bands. A parade of marching bands started around 9 a.m. and lasted until 2 p.m. We could have possibly watched 5 hours worth of marching bands. However, we choose not to because, as cute as those kids were all dressed up, they were not very skilled in the art of music.
