Happy Cinco de Mayo! On this day back in 1862 the Mexican army kicked the snot out of the French army in Puebla, Mexico. Contrary to popular belief, this is not about Mexico's independence. This is about celebrating the culture of Mexico.
The Mexican war for independence started with Grito de Dolores (Shout of Dolores) on September 16th, 1810 and ended 11 years later on September 27th, 1821.

Strangely, Cinco de Mayo seems to be celebrated more in the US than in Mexico...
