September 16th is Mexico's Independence Day. (If you didn't already know, NO, it is not Cinco de Mayo!) Even before I left Mexico at the end of August, stands were popping up everywhere selling flags and other patriotic decorations, trinkets, and clothing. This stand was just outside of Chedraui, a major supermarket chain.
I actually bought a tee shirt here... at the very top of the stand you can see a shirt imprinted on the front to look like a "charro" outfit, the elaborate suit won by Mexican horsemen. I won't be down there to wear it on Independence Day, but I will have it to wear in future years when I am living south of the border.
