My very favorite story about Cinco de Mayo was a couple of years ago when Greg and I were sitting in the bar at El Cap East. It was November and the bar was decorated due to independence day, a man walked in and asked if the decorations were up for Cinco de Mayo! LOL Good laugh for us all but he was serious.
In fact Cinco de Mayo is a day celebrated to commemorate the date in 1862, the Mexican army defeated the French at the Battle of Puebla, despite being outnumbered and ill-equipped. Or maybe it is just a reason to celebrate the margarita.
Although not being of Mexican heritage, it is still one of my favorite holidays. Although this year with our budget constantly making itself aware we refuse to give up our celebration. So instead of going out, I have decorated our table with a colorful Mexican themed table topper and this evening Greg is making my favorite fish tacos and margaritas. Feliz Cinco de Mayo!
