What a way to start the day! As usual I went down to the Zocalo to buy my newspapers but this time there were police and military at every corner, and in big groups. I asked the woman at the news stand what was happening. Desfile para 20 de noviembre, a public celebration celebrating the start of the Mexican Revolution.
There was quite a show of military, all so young and serious looking. Howver I was able to catch these drummers at ease. I am not sure they approved of the taking of their photos and it was a little unsettling to have so many guns within feet of me. I hoped they were fake guns.
There were little boys dressed as Pancho Villa, complete with guns. Some had mustaches drawn on their faces.
