happy independence day, el salvador

we went to a parade today in the heart of san salvador in celebration of the day el salvador gained independence from spain in 1821.. i have written a little bit about the circumstances of the spanish occupation of el salvador, but to summarize; the spanish treated the native salvadorians pretty objectionably, and tense relationships even today..

therefore, independence day is quite a celebration.. and salvadorians know how to party..
