I am always game for a party, and the big one coming up. The big party day for Mexicans in the United States of America, and probably in Mexico is the May 5, Cinco De Mayo. If you love Mexican food like I do, take a little history with you.. So, what's with it? Is it independence day? No, that's Septerember 18, (1810). Was it a victory that drove the French out of Mexico? The French were in Mexico, why? President Juarez, decided to stop paying the $15 million dollar debt (1/2 billion today) and a French Army came to install Emperor Maximilian. And he was kicked on on Cinco De Mayo, No, that day (May 15, 1867) is not celebrated at all. So, what was it about? Cinco De Mayo is victory of the Mexican Army over the French at the Battle of Puebla, but failed to stop the French conquest of Mexico. So that's kinda crazy, but it's Mexico. But Max, he was duped into this mess, but between independence and Max, the Mexicans had fifty, yes 50 presidencies. Max did have a long run by Mexican standards but it did cost him his life. His last words were "Viva Mexico." Have a Margarite and watch "Vera Cruz" or "Major Dundee".
