Friday, (9/11/2009) was the Mexican Independence Celebration at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I was very happy to be there and most of all very thankful that I was able to participate in the ballet folklorico dance performance for the celebration. Along with other four girls, I danced thwo dances the most common dance named Son de la Negra y Las Indias de Tuxuapan. I had alot of fun there was plenty of food to eat all very tasty Mexican dishes: mole, chicharrones con chile, pozole, menudo, tamales, arroz con leche, frijoles, arroz mexicano, and lots of fruit. Everything was really neat and the decorations were obviously mexican themed. I had lots of fun. After the Grito de Independencia and singing the Mexican Hymn we had the DJ Fernando Cervantes play lots of good music to dance and well you bet there were lots of dancers. the Mexican Culture never says no to dancing. VIVA MEXICO!!!
