Tu bandera, tu bandera es un lampo de cielo ::
Your flag is a splendor of sky (Honduran National Anthem)
Today we celebrated Independence Day in Honduras. Each year the school puts on a parade and we march through town in patriotic celebration. The parade represented each of the 5 Central American countries that won their independence from Spain. You can read more about the history here.
We marched through the streets to the park. I think these guys got the best seats in town...
We had an orchid (the national flower) and a white tailed deer (the national animal)...
The kinder "estrellitas"...
And of course a parade in Honduras would not be complete without n
The band rocked their new uniforms...
And they really had my students rocking to the rhythm. Here are my finalists for "Best Marcher." Leave a comment and let me know your vote...
Contestant #1:
After all of the parading, we are now officially on vacation! Some of the teachers and I are headed to Copan Ruinas for a much needed long weekend.
Feliz Dia del Independencia, Honduras!
