Viva México!!! 🇲🇽 Feliz día de la Independencia!!!

Tonight we Mexicans celebrate the Independence Calling (El Grito de Independencia), and tomorrow 16th the Independence Day.

The September 16th of 1810, priest Miguel Hidalgo I Costilla called the people agains the bad government in the town of Dolores Hidalgo, located in Guanajuato province.

The Independence movement spanned for 11 years, while most of the heroes that started it died in the fight. The and of the war came until Sept. 27th of 1821 when Agustín De Iturbide and Vicente Guerrero entered the capital city with the Tri-warrant army.

It is considered the most important Mexican celebration. It unite us as one country, one people. Today we celebrate with traditional Mexican food, such as tacos, chiles rellenos, pozole, sopes and garnachas, and of course, your favorite drinks.

Tonight and tomorrow, everywhere there will be heard the traditional calling: VIVA MÉXICO CABRONES!!!

And of course with the pandemic, the official celebration will be carried on without the huge masses that gather at the Zócalo (Central plaza) in México City, but everyone of us will be united in our hearts in homes, maintaining the sanitary measures. It is sad to see the streets of our capital empty, but even so, we feel happy, fortunate and grateful for all who gave the most precious gift so the rest could be free and live better. In that sense, the fight is not over.

Feliz día de Independencia!!! Viva México!!!

Sinaloa, Durango and Jalisco provinces. You would be surprised. Some years ago I was doing surveys for the government at rural towns in Sinaloa, and was very surprised of the number of beautiful girls. Many of them would have no problem finding jobs as mo...

On the other side, it is good that people didn’t get carried away by the desire to party and respected the quarantine, voluntarily. It will all pass and we all will meet on the streets again! President López Obrador gave a very emotive grito, but first ma...

Never worry about it. I hope you are doing all well. How was your celeb? What dishes did you have? Best regards my dear friend. René

Thanks a lot my friend Rene! Regrettably we are still in confinement (today 181 days!!!) so we meet in a nearby plaza with mouth protection and 2 meters distance only on week ends...

I meet with my brother and shared dinner, but wear masks at all time and kept distance. But you now what? There are people who has it worst, with no jobs of food supply. And then, there are those who have departed. We have to keep up our spirits. This als... 

Agree with you dear Rene: we should be so grateful to be able to stay safe and healthy and maintain our jobs/work and have a home and food. We can´t ignore so many people departed...

I still have a bottle of Alacrán . . .

. . . that Alex Sunrise gifted almost ten years ago, and will have a sip tonight in both your honors!

Salud, mi querido Art!!!

And Mexico land of my Grandmother Miriam and GreatGrandfather Tobias Magaña and those before him... Miguel ...  

Thank you for sharing all these nice pictures

 
 By: renerod : September 16th, 2020-06:45
That show a little of our cultural richness and your proud Mexican heritage, dear Miguel! I remember that you shared before that your grandfather was governor of the state of Tabasco, right? There must be many stories to tell! Please, feel free to share w... 

By the way...

Tamales and chiles en nogada are exquisite!!! When you visit Mexico City, I know a great place for chiles en nogada, it is even called “The Cathedral of Chiles en Nogada”. Best. René

I've pretty much quit drinking altogether in the last year, but . . .

. . . when I was, tequila was my spirit of choice in the same sense Omega is my manufacturer of choice. Porfidio was my favorite, but haven't seen a bottle in so long I fear they've gone out of business. Don Julio 1942 is my current favorite. Salud, Art

Se share the best favorite makers then!

 
 By: renerod : September 16th, 2020-06:52
About watches and tequila. But I recognize there are other brands that are worth trying! Don Julio is not so stout and very palatable. Best regards. René

What I was trying to convey is that although I seldom venture away from Omega . . .

. . . I always come back to them. The same with tequila - I'd have bourbon or vodka on occasion, but nine times out of ten it's tequila. Have I mentioned my philosophy of life lately? "Drive German, eat Italian, and drink Mexican - you can't go wrong."

I like your philosophy of life, Art!

 
 By: renerod : September 16th, 2020-07:59
It is nice to have options to try occasionally, but stick to the best tried values. Vintage Omega is a mostly unexplored and misterious land! I really love that you can still discover many obscure but beautiful references! I’m looking for a vintage Seamas... 

By the way, Salud!

I’ve never tasted Porfidio, but I’ll keep my eyes open. You never know what you can find in old stores in downtown Mexico City! Best. René

As you know, bad words are also part of our culture 😅

Many thanks mon ami. Viva México! René
