Mexican Independence

Mexican Independence Day is September 16th, but most Mexicans start the celebration at midnight (and lead up to that the night before).

We thought our house would be torn up with various projects, but alas, it wasn't. So we had a spur of the moment Mexican Independence party.

It was a potluck... and we thought we'd have about 6 people over... but it turned out to be around 30 people. A third of them were folks who heard about the party day of... and people we didn't know! But luckily, they were very nice and well behaved.

It was a wonderful party and mother nature cooperated. The full moon made a showing! It was so moving, I even swam in the ocean ... at 1am. It was an amazing experience. Here are some photos.
