Ruminations of an Expatriate

OK, I’m a bit tardy in posting these photos of the November 20th parade but I’ve been busy furthering my self-education in web site authoring. I’ve learned specifically about add-on domains, as I didn’t want the Tavola site URL to include my domain name.

The parade, as it was last year, was composed mainly of school children parading in their school uniforms, performing various drills. One school group performed a stunning drill with yellow, purple and green umbrellas .

There were also groups of adults representing various government departments.

As you can see there were also quite a number of schools whose students, both girls and boys, were dressed as guerrillas and in traditional clothing. One group riding a train, which evoked thoughts of the famous photos of Pancho Villa and his troops on a train. The young guerrillas on the train would periodically disembark and lie in the street as if shooting at the enemy with their wooden guns.

Students and teachers from one of the sports school represented,as you can see in the photo below, pushed their wheelchair bound comrades along the route.

The parade lasted more than three hours, with spectators lining Calle Avilla Camacho, and wended its way past the reviewing stand in front of the state government palace.

It was all quite festive, though most of the children in the parade looked as though they wished there were elsewhere.
