24th of September

We've missed a lot of holidays and celebrations on this trip - Rosh Hashana, Yom Kippur, surstrommingspremiar, kraftskivor and a few birthdays. But we have celebrated 24th of September!

We are not really sure why, but everyone else in Santa Cruz celebrated it so we joined in. The celebrations mostly took place around the main square, cleverly named Plaza 24 de Septiembe and contained army and police marching quite haphazardly, schoolbands playing and a lot of waving of green-white flags.

Bolivian VIPs

I had no idea my husband was so interested in schoolbands, he didn't want to leave...


Some israeli participation, in form of the Rangers' guns, was seen. Nothing swedish anywhere in sight though.
