Viva Mexico!
Independence Day Celebrations
Our cover photo this week is Niagara Fall’s tribute to Mexico’s independence. Mexico’s Independence was acknowledged worldwide and throughout Mexico. The biggest celebration was in Mexico City were president AMLO presided for the last time. The parade is still going on as I type! It is impressive! Here in Cozumel, we had the Municipal Palace and park packed last night for the fair, food stands, fireworks, and the “Grito” at midnight.
Independence Day Parade
Early this morning, the Independence Day parade just finished, displaying Mexico’s military and law enforcement might, as well as children from Cozumel’s schools and beautiful horsemanship
Facts about Beautiful Mexico
Its official name is not Mexico, but the United States of Mexico. Mexico’s flag, although created in 1821, took 147 years to become official in 1968.
Did you think Egypt’s pyramids were second to none? Mexico is home to the largest pyramid; Tlachihualtepetl, or the Great Pyramid of Cholula, is about 217 feet (66 meters) tall with a base of 1,476 by 1,476 feet (450 by 450 meters). Construction began around 300 B.C.
Logic would say that Spain is where Spanish is spoken the most, however, Mexico is the Spanish-speaking country with the most inhabitants. With more than 120 million inhabitants, Mexico surpasses any other country. One of the most unknown curiosities of Mexico is that there are sixty-eight native languages, and 364 linguistic variants recognized in addition to Spanish.
Chocolate was a Mexican discovery. We must thank the Olmec, Aztec, Toltec, and Mayan civilizations!
The largest university in the world is Mexican. UNAM has more than 360,000 students enrolled. (UNAM), the National Autonomous University of Mexico was founded in 1551, and also earns the record for being the oldest university in North America.
By its shape, Mexico is a country like no other in the world: With its two peninsulas and its two gulfs, it swings on both sides of the Tropic of Cancer. To the north Mexico unfolds deserts and drought, to the south Mexico is enveloped in jungles and humidity. Mexico is like an immense crumpled piece of paper, full of mountain ranges, plateaus, volcanoes, and plains, where all climates exist. One tenth of the plants and animals on the planet are concentrated in Mexico.
We are fortunate to live in one of the most beautiful countries in the world 🌍
