I don't know why Cinco de Mayo is celebrated, but I figured it's a good reason to invite some friends over and eat lots of Mexican food, so that's just what we did. The kids had fun hitting the pinata and playing, and I enjoyed the good company and yummy food!
Fun! We actually looked it up because I remembered hearing it was Mexican Independence day, but then one of our students from Mexico telling me we had it all wrong. Apparently it honors a victory over France long long ago in the State of Puebla, but it is more widely celebrated in the US than Mexico. Crazy, huh?! I agree with you though, just a really nice excuse to throw a party and have some Mexican food!!
