My Mexican friend, Karla who is doing her masters in Outdoor Ed invited some of us to her place to celebrate Mexico's Independence day. She led us in the declaration of independence which requires us to go out to the yard in the middle of the night to shout something in Spanish. Then still got fireworks some more! With all that noise we made, it was a surprise that the neighbors never cow peh.
As part of the celebration, we took turns to whack the pinata until it breaks apart. The purpose is to get the candy inside. Its a popular activity in the Mexican culture.
Everyone had to come in the Mexican national colours: red, green and white...more like walking Christmas tree can...
Remains of the pinata...
The usual mob of roos at our uni's backyard. Guess how many are there?
Shingle Back Lizard after hibernating all winter. Feeling a bit stoned.
We are in the third week of spring and there are flowers are all over the place. Will put up one post on all the flowers I had to do research on.
