13/09 - Independence Dinner

Byatangajwe: 03.10.2017

By the latest this week, it was impossible to overlook that the Día de la Independencia (Mexican Independence Day on September 16th) was approaching. The whole city seemed to be dipped into a green-white-red pot of paint and there was a certain festive mood in the air. The 'Viva Mexico' decoration, of course, could not be missing in our house...

As a prelude to the Día de Independencia, Doña Anita organized a dinner for all of us, which Toñis lovingly prepared in the kitchen for days and once again surpassed herself with her culinary skills.

Drinks were also taken care of - of course in the national colors.

After everyone, as always, ate way too much, a cheerful evening followed. Until late into the night, we played, danced, and laughed.
