Feliz Cinco de Mayo!!!!!!!

Time to bring out the Tacos!!

Except for México and the United States, no one else celebrates Cinco de Mayo.

¿Qué se celebra en esta festividad?

basically the holiday celebrates a victory of the Mexican forces over the French in the Battle of Puebla.

Basicamente las vacaciones celebran una victoria de las fuerzas mexicanas sobre el frances en la Batalla de Puebla.

It's often referred to as Mexican Independence Day, but that's actually September 15.

How many countries on this planet haven't beaten France in a war?

I was in Mexico May 5..in Tijuana, Rosarito, and briefly in Tecate', and it didnt seem much different from my other 2 visits.

I stayed in San Ysidro, California. (on the border) and there wasnt alot going on there either. Or maybe I just needed to get away from the tourist areas.
