16th de Septiembre

Independence Day for Mexico!!


This is a pedestrian bridge on the way home from the number 25 bus.


Everything is decked out with lights and the Mexican colors.


Downtown Zapopan, the night before the Grito (celebration when everyone shouts for liberty!)


They are a little more patriotic than we are in the States.


All we've seen for weeks now is green, white and red (the colors of the Mexican flag)




Cole and his amigo, Francisco, show off their homemade flags. Like a true-blooded American, he changed into his Old Navy, American flag shirt when he got home.

Cole and Lydia enjoyed a fiesta at the Kinder and were supposed to dress in traditional Mexican outfits. We did our best with a Chivas soccer jersey and dress that we bought here.


At the festivities


When in Mexico, drive like the Mexicans!

We'll post more real stuff later (we know all you want is the pictures anyway!).

STEEEEVE! We're doing these weekly assignments where we have to do verse-by-verse commentary on sections in Philippians, and we're only allowed to use the text itself...man I wish I could talk this stuff out with you, I'd love to hear your opinion. Way to party it up in Mexico! Looking forward to wrestling scripture with you when you get home. :)

The comments are great, but you know the old saying that a picture is worth a thousand words!

Miss you guys!
