Military parade in el Zócalo

The Zócalo, Mexico's main square, was crowded with thousands of young military cadets this evening for the flag lowering ceremony. They were there for a drill competition. The Mexican National Guard troops that performs the nightly flag lowering ceremony are young looking; these cadets are even younger looking. Some looked like they were 12.
