Warming up dinner "Viva Mexico"

Hi mates!
The last 15 of September, at night, was the Bicentennial Mexican Party. The venue was at Cubana restaurant. All the members of MLAS plus friends from Argentine, Chile, Cuba, Great Britain, Spain and other countries were there. During the party, the people enjoyed the sound, the nice food and the noise. During the celebration, Lorena Preciado, as president of MLAS gave the typical EL GRITO DE INDEPENDENCIA (Independence Scream Call). This scream is a legacy from the priest Miguel Hidalgo when he started the rebellion at the early morning of the 16 of September, 1810. All world screamed, Viva!, with each name of the Independence Heros.The party was well carried out.

The old and elegant 34 Trippet Lane building was the perfect place to commemorate this legacy. Thanks to Cubanas for all the facilities.
