In my previous post, I was getting ready to go downtown and watch Guatemala Independence Day Parade at central plaza in zona 1, and here are some pictures that I took of the event. Now, let me tell you, the event was very crowded and It was very difficult to walk in the streets. I ended up very tired and a little sunburned, but very happy.
As is ussual in Independence Day Parades, cute schoolgirls known as "Batonistas" (I dont know the English word but is similar to cheerleader) glad the event with her beauty and ritmic moves.
Also there were some "gastadores", (another word I cant accurately translate), but it refers to the first line of students who carries the school and country flags.
Also there were some Military academias in the parade. I think they prepared very well for this parade because they were wearing their gala uniforms.More pictures at my flickr account.

I wish our independence day celebrations had such cool stuff.
We used to get tanks to climb over and such where I live.
Also, weird, I was sure your blog was another blog. I blame my ailing memory!
