As you walk toward the main square from the bus terminal in Dolores Hidalgo, it's hard to imagine the impassioned frenzy that heated this Mexican village on September 15, 1810. Here, on the balcony of his home, the town's beloved priest, Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla, yelled EL GRITO the cry of Independence. It was a cry that changed the history of North America, and, indeed, the world.

Today in this town in the high plains of Mexico's Bajio, small shops and vendor stalls line the cobblestone streets. Women and children, squatting on curbs, sell juicy limes and just-picked avocados. Vases, hand painted with bursts of brilliant flowers and squiggly designs, decorate the sidewalks. This is one of the best places in Mexico to buy talavera pottery.

The laid back atmosphere of present-day Dolores Hidalgo is a far cry from the morning of "The Cry" that signaled the start of the country's independence from Spain. On that Sunday in 1810, the town (then known as just Dolores), was swarming with church-going Indians and peasant farmers. Father Hildalgo roused them and crillos (people of Spanish descent born in Mexico) to rise against the gachupines (the ruling class, born in Spain). He urged the crowd to follow him into battle. It wasn't a prepared, written speech, so no one is certain exactly what Hidalgo said, but he probably included phrases such as "long live freedom." The scene is reenacted yearly on September 15 throughout Mexico
