Cinco de Mayo is a highly misunderstood 'holiday'. Although I like to celebrate with chips, salsa and margaritas, it is less celebration and more rememberance in Mexico.
In the United States, Cinco de Mayo is a happy, popular and exceptionally vague celebration of Latino culture. In Mexico, and especially here in this historic state capital, the celebration is mostly a martial one — with jet flyovers and a military parade — to commemorate the Mexican army’s decisive victory over French forces at the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862.
