Celebrate! For the Spring Equinox, the children of San Miguel paraded through the city as animals, butterflies, frogs, bees and countless characters in bright and happy colors on March 21. The sun was hot, the route long, and the town abuzz with music, chants and cheerful reminders for us all to celebrate the Earth and respect the environment, especially the precious water. The spring parade of los niños is one of the best parades I have ever seen, and I particularly appreciated all the hard work of the children, their parents, and their teachers! See for yourself…
