And maybe it's their Spanish heritage, but sometimes, Latin Americans seem like the most joyful people in the world. They always find a good reason to celebrate life. This time, thousands of people attended a parade in Mexico City on Sunday, where they celebrated the beginning of summer vacation for school children. But as you'll see, most of the revelers are way beyond their adolescence.
