Guatemala celebrates its independence on 15 September. The date is also known as Central American Independence Day, because El Salvador, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua all became independent states through the Act of Independence of Central America. This was adopted by the five countries on 15 September 1821, and it was accepted by Spain without any intervention. My tie with its nice colored stripes was handmade in Guatemala by "Lily" (according to the label) and was purchased at Peace Craft, our local outlet for Fair Trade goods.
