Hello, my lovely friends!

Today is Cinco de Mayo! I'm probably going to have some kind of Mexican food for dinner, but not sure if I'm going to make it or pick something up. 

 

Ten Cinco de Mayo Fun Facts:

1.Cinco de Mayo is celebrated on a much larger scale in the United States than in Mexico.
    
2.Chicanos celebrate this day in appreciation of Mexico’s culture.
    
3. General Ignacio Zaragoza was born in Texas when it was still part of Mexico and is considered to be a Chicano hero.
    
4. Cinco de Mayo is often confused with the Mexican Independence Day, which occurred on September 16, 1810, about 50 years earlier.
    
5. Cinco de Mayo is one of more than 365 festivals celebrated by people of Mexican descent.
    
6. The holiday was popularized in the U.S. in part by Chicano activists in the 1960’s and 1970’s who identified with the Mexican Indian and mestizo soldiers’ triumph over European conquest attempts.
    
7. The Festival de Fiesta Broadway in Los Angeles is the world’s largest Cinco de Mayo event. More than 600,000 gather to celebrate with food and music each year.
    
8. Mexico is the largest Spanish-speaking country in the world.
    
9. Guadalajara is Mexico’s second largest city and where the Mexican Hat Dance, sombreros and mariachi music originated.
 

 10. Mexico’s capital, Mexico City (one of the world’s largest cities) is sinking. Some of its buildings are sinking by as much as 4 to 12 inches a year. The city was once an Aztec capital on an island surrounded by a shallow lake. When the Spanish explorer Hernan Cortes captured the city, he drained the lake. Today, Mexico City rests on soft land that continues to sink.
