A friend from another country is visiting Mexico.

I’m happy to be in Mexico for Independence Day. What do you usually do to celebrate?

We watch the Cry of Dolores on TV, the president rings a big bell and calls
out the names of the independence heroes and shouts “Viva Mexico”. Then
he waves the flag and we sing the National Anthem.

Oh, it sounds exciting!

That’s not all! There are fireworks everywhere after the Cry
of Dolores. It’s beautiful!

Where does that take place? Can you show me?

In the city centre. In the main square. We can go today. Just

be prepared, it’s very crowded.
Don’t worry. I am sure I’ll enjoy it.

And we can eat typical food like pozole, tostadas or pambazos.

Delicious! Can’t wait to be there!
