When people ask me if I miss California, I tell them, of course I do. One of the things I miss is the Cinco de Mayo celebration in San Jose, including a big parade that included mariachi bands, floats, horses, and, of course, local politicians in convertibles.
Back here Groundhog Day gets more play than Cinco de Mayo. A groundhog is an overgrown rodent, and that is what we have a day for? Really?
On the other hand, it is my understanding that Cinco de Mayo is not as much of a holiday in Mexico as it was in California. In any case, it was fun holiday, and I’m all in favor of celebrating it.
Now if you will excuse me, I will get my tortilla chips and my Corona and do some celebrating on my own.
We made wraps last night for Cinco de Mayo. No chips.
ReplyDeleteI hope you had some hot sauce for those chips.
