Then with thousands of Mexicans in zocalo, singing the national anthem, the festival continued with lots of fireworks. This is called "el día del grito" or Day of cry for independence.

This commemorates Miguel Hidalgo’s rebellion against Spain, given in the town of Dolores on September 16, 1810.

墨西哥9月15日和16日開始慶祝獨立日，首先晚上11點總統會從墨西哥城National Palace陽台，高喊“墨西哥萬歲，Hidalgo萬歲......”。然後，成千上萬的墨西哥人聚在ZOCALO唱國歌，再以放煙花來延續。這就是“el día del grito”。
這是紀念Miguel Hidalgo在1810年9月16日於Dolores鎮對西班牙的反抗。

Then 16 Sept is followed by parades and marching bands in Paseo de Reforma ( el Angel de la Independencia ) and Zocalo. Lots of people will be crowded around to watch this while many related souvenirs are sold along. You can find people waving national flag, trumpets, hats and scarfs in green/white/red.

跟著是9月16日是在 Paseo de Reforma ( el Angel de la Independencia ) 和 Zocalo廣塲上的遊行、樂隊。這幾處都會被圍得水洩不通，許多相關的紀念品也會在附近出售。你可以見到很多人揮舞著國旗，帶有綠色/白色/紅色的喇叭、帽子和圍巾。

At this month, it is also the season for serving Chile en Nogada, and many familities will be having this dish for celebration.
在這一個月，也是Chile en Nogada的合時季節，很多家裡都有這度菜來慶祝。

Chile en Nogada

San Jose is the capital in Costa Rica and some friends do ask me if there is any recommendation when they get a few days at transit of San Jose & Alajuela.

San Jose是哥斯達黎加的首都。一些朋友可能會問我如果過境幾天，有任何景點建議去看看。

Actually, San Jose is really a city and of course, it is good to have a city tour to visit the national theatre and the famous museum of gold. The exhibits in the museum is not very special but can help us know more about the goldsmith technique in ancient times.
San Jose是一個城市，遊覽可去參觀有名的國家大劇院和著名的黃金博物館。對我們來講，黃金博物館內的展品可能不是非常特別；但可以使我們認識更多當年黃金鑄造技術。

Moreover, Volcan Poas near Alajuela is a Must-go. If you like animals, La Paz Waterfall Garden is a good choice too.
另外，在Alajuela附近的Poas火山也是必去的。如果喜歡看動物，也可以去La Paz Waterfall Garden
