This is the first year that I didn't go to the annual May 1st march. Pero, I did get a chance to meet up at the end spot of the march. I ran into an all around activist and she asked if there was some way she can see my photos. I know I had a look of embarrassment, nodded and said yeah. The truth is, that she inspired me to keep my blog going. And for that I want to say "Gracias!" Adriana "Nana" Garcia. The thing that amazed me the most this day was the turnout, the weather was horrible. I remember it was actually sprinkling and I had to cover my camera underneath my sweater but yet there were a good chunk of people out in front of City Hall in downtown San Jose. I was so glad to run into familiar faces and I saw things that really got me thinking. It's amazing that people still have hope after all the discrimination they probably go through and all the hardships they have to endure. During that day, so many people were trying to cope with the financial problems all Americans are facing by selling the infamous "churro," Mexico's and the State's flag and of course "chicharrones," fruit cups, and "elotes." The fight for equal rights for all humans shall go on. Viva la Revolucion!
