Happy Cinco de Mayo


I'm guessing you Spanish buffs know this but here is my brief history lesson for the day. Cinco de Mayo is more then just an excuse to have some margaritas. It marks the day of victory of battle against an attempted takeover by the French in the city of Puebla. Though the war continued for another five years Cinco de Mayo celebrates the turn of the tide of getting rid of the French foreign occupation.

Don't you feel smarter!

I DO feel smarter (even though I knew that, I didn't know about the war continuing)!
