Retro: ¡Vive México!
10 years ago this month we were having a very patriotic time in Mexico City! It was a part of our orientation time, and Shari and I went to see the Ballet Folklórico, and spent some time exploring downtown Mexico City.
We even got some pictures of the lowing of the flag, right in the zocalo (main downtown square). Here you go…
And here’s a close-up of the above, showing the soldiers doing their job:
If it’s raining, or if there’s a chance of rain, the flag won’t be raised or lowered. The reason being, the flag gets far too heavy to handle – I’m sure you can see why!
