Independence Day Parades

September 15th is Independence Day here in Honduras. On the mornings of the 13th, 14th, and 15th there are parades in which the children at the local schools march. As a sixth-grade teacher, I supervised my students marching in the parade on the 14th. I certainly wasn't marching--my task was more what my Texan coworker compared to herding cattle. We walked alongside; the kids were the show.

Check out the new slideshow. The first 5-10 pictures are my students' parade. The rest are from the 15th, when the older kids marched. Their costumes and performances were a little fancier.
