El Grito de la Independencia
September in Mexico is a month of patriotic celebrations. Every sunday or so, processions are to be seen in the streets of little villages; the cities cover up in national colors, red/white/green, with flags and/or lights on various buildings as the night settles in.

Together, with lots and lots of smiles, we went swimming and admire Nature's wonders around the waterfalls of Agua Azul and Misol-Ha, on the road between Palenque and San Cristóbal de las Casas.
