As you all probably know, May 5th was Cinco de Mayo (the fifth of may in Spanish) but you probably don’t know why Mexicans celebrate it. It celebrates the Mexican Army’s unlikely victory over French forces at the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862. It is usually celebrated in state of Puebla and in the United States.  It is not to be confused with Mexico’s Independence Day which is celebrated on September 16. There’s not much to Cinco de Mayo but, if you want to learn more go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cinco_de_Mayo which is also where I got my infomation.

Hope you enjoyed!
