Another party

Today is el Cinco de Mayo. I did not even know about it till a couple of days ago and I just learned today what you celebrate at that day. On may 5th (cinco de Mayo) 1862 the Mexicans (strongly outnumbered 2000 to 6000 against the strongest army of the world at that time) defeated the French who tried to invade their country, because Mexico could not pay their debts back in time. So the super brave Mexicans fought for their land, their country and their love (okay the last part was added by me) and won! This all was in the city of Puebla.
Anyway it is a nice story and a good reason to celebrate. Especially for me since we had once again a little fiesta in Spanish Class with cookie, brownies and tons of chips (yes, I know, this is very Mexican).

This all made me realize how many little celebrations there are in the US. Of course since everyone comes from another country or culture and the American are people very nice, we just celebrate all holidays from all over the world. I think it’s nice since I get to eat cookies in Spanish Class on St. Patricks Day, El Dia de losMuertos (Day of the Death), Earth Day, … as you can see there is always something to celebrate J!
And there are a lot of days I’ve not even heard about and I like to learn what other cultures celebrate and why!
