Today is Cinco de Mayo and there are 70 plus attending a celebration at lunch time on our floor at $10 a head. There are red, white and green banners hanging from the ceiling, sombreros on the walls, table cloths, tall bouquets and of course music. I think it's easy for Americans to say the name and that's why it's a popular day to celebrate. Michael and I enjoyed eating Mexican food on Cinco de Mayo.
It actually celebrates the 1862 Mexican victory over the French in the Battle of Puebla and, according to many people, is more of a U.S. holiday than a Mexican one.
