My celebration of Independence day in Mexico City

Today, in Mexico is commemorated our independence from Spain is commemorated. Many kinds of celebrations take place within the country but I am going to talk about how independence day will be celebrated in my city, and particularly for me and my husband.

The most important celebration is held in "Zocalo", where the president will shout the cry of independence (grito de independencia) about 11:00 pm.

Apart of  Apart from Zocalo, we have 12 counties in Mexico City, and each one has its town hall and a celebration is hosted there. There are two town halls near home, they belong to "Benito Juarez" and "Coyoacan" counties. We are going to both of them, where there will be a verbena.

First, we are going to "Coyoacan". There will be a folkloric ballet, marimba and mariachi. This place is about 4 km far away from our home and we will return when the mariachi ends its performance.

Then, we are going to "Benito Juarez". There will be fireworks and musical  (you can add "musical" if you want, but it's more common to just say either "bands" or "music") bands. In this place This is where we will hear the cry of independence. This It's place is about 1 km from home so we can come back by walking when we feel like.

By the way, we ate pozole, which is a very typical food eaten today!

My family

My family
My name is Pavel, and allow me to tell a little bit about my family. In my immediate family there is my daughter, my wife and me. We live not far from Volgograd. My wife is a manager, and but our daughter too young to work, she is only four years old. My wife and I like swimming, so on Saturdays we usually go to swimming pool. At weekends my family we always goes shopping. We usually buy food and some nice toys for our daughter. On Sundays we all usually cook together in the kitchen. In the evening we get together at the table to have a nice dinner. I have very nice family, and we get on very well with each other.
I also have my extended family: a mother, a father, a sister, grandparents, an uncle, an aunt, and a cousin. This is my extended family. My sister is five years younger than me. She lives in Volgograd with our parents, and she s a student.
My cousin is from Volgograd, but now he lives in St. Petersburg. He serves in the army, and has a wife and a young son. His son is two years old and he is the youngest member of my extended family.
My grandparents are on the bad side of eighty. My grandmother used to work at school as teacher, and my grandfather was an engineer. They live in the an old flat on the suburb of Volgograd. We try to visit them, but unfortunately not always it turns out  this isn't always possible.
We have a tradition to get together of getting together on at Christmas holiday and telling each other what interesting things happened in last year. We are good family and I love them.
