Dia de independencia en Guatemala

Today is the Independence day in Guatemala. It seems to be a really big thing. They have been preparing ever since we got here. Maybe Indendence days are a much bigger thing in countries that had to fight for it within the last 2-3 centuries. It seems to be big in most Latin- and South American countries where freedom haven't always been something you took for granted.

No mather what, hoy es un grande fiesta. Yesterday there was fireworks and they were playing the Mirimba, national instrument of Guatemala. Fantastic music!

Later today we will go to the Parque Central and see what's going on there.

Happy Independence Day!
