My Birthday

My birthday was on Saturday September 15.  It is a very special day in all of Latin America.  Almost all of the countries in Latin America celebrate their Independence on this day.  Different years but the same day. In Mexico it was the day of the Grito de Dolores.  The day that they won the war and the grito was when Dolores Hidalgo proclaimed the independence war had been won.  So every year each school participates in a parade and the band plays.  Some schools have a dance festival and they have like a fair with rides and shows.   There are fireworks at night and there is a game that they play which is like bingo but it is called Loteria.  I guess in a way all of Mexico celebrates my birthday!!!!!
