Independence Day, Honduran Style

Independence Day isn't any good without a parade, right? So the tradition here in Honduras is for the kids to march (we march around the Zamorano campus) with flags and some music. Last year they had a few drummers, which sounds nice. This year they decided on a 20 piece marching band with gymnasts and baton twirlers. Now, we spent a lot of time practicing how to line up and march in well organized rows. And we did, too, for the first three or four steps, then chaos, dancing and fun. Lucky for us it was a half day of school and no one expected us to actually teach anything.
