September in Mexico

You can always tell it's September in Mexico when you begin to see stands selling Mexican flags (and an assortment of other items in red, white and green) popping up on street corners. Although Mexican Independence Day falls on September 16th, the whole month of September is referred to as el mes de la patria, and dedicated to the celebration of all things Mexican.
