Cinco de Mayo May 5
It’s cinco de Mayo. The funny thing is that in some towns in the U.S. there are funner events than in most places in Mexico. It’s good for the U.S. because for some reason we don’t do much for “May Day.” We need more fun in our country. Don’t you think?
The funny thing is that most people don’t know what cinco de mayo celebrates. It was when Mexican troops won a battle against French troops in 1862.
