I went to the Commercial Mexicana and saw that they had everything taped off, how strange I thought...but 'when in Mexico'. For my 4th here in Atizapan, I flew both my US Flag (which also was flown in Iraq at Al Asad) and my NC flag...which drew looks from neighbors bordering on confusion and anger all at once. We didn't have any firework here, but I went to the Basilica and lit candles instead. It was good fun, plus...if you like religious iconography, you can't beat it. Rosario's red line will take you there...La Villas/Basilica. Cheers. I experienced it as well.
