16 de Septiembre...

To all my American friends... tonight, at Midnight of 16 de Septiembre is THE largest, most important Mexican holiday of every year... 'Fiesta de las Patrias' (Feast of our Forefathers), celebrating Mexican Revolution and nation-forming. At midnight in Mexico City, el Presidente will stand on the balcony of the Zocolo and give the constitutionally-mandated cry, called 'El Grito'... "Viva Mexico!!"... and the whole country will erupt in celebration and reply...
[this history lesson is to say that 5 de Mayo is NOT the biggest Mexican holiday...]
