They certainly don't celibrate it much there. It's more of a regional celebration (but national holiday) in Puebla where the battle took place.AlbatrossFlyer wrote:i haven't quite figured out why we celebrate mexico's defeat of france....
If memory serves, the Cinco de Mayo of today, here in the States, is a product of the American booze producers and sellers.
Now if we REALLY want to celebrate a Mexican Holiday we need to have a Decimosexto de Septiembre celibration!
doesn't quite roll off the tongue like Cinco de Mayo...
