It is the day after the annual Cinco de Mayo celebration. Chris and I usually host a gathering, but this year we didn't have anyone around to celebrate with and so we went out to the local Mexican restaurant to enjoy some food and libations.

It is a short walk to Rancho Chico, but with the threat of thunderstorms in the area we drove and were fortunate enough to find parking in the much-too-small lot. I wondered why the restaurant did not actually close down the parking lot and do a celebration similar to what the Irish restaurant puts on for St Patricks Day. I think having a real mariachi band and tents out in the parking lot would be a lot more celebratory. There would certainly be more room for all of the people who crammed into the restaurant. We were lucky to head over a bit early--before the rush.
All-in-all, we had a great Cinco de Mayo. We enjoyed margaritas--the ones I made at home were much better than the watered down ones at the restaurant. We enjoyed the music and the food.
And so, my favorite foreign holiday is over and we move ahead. What's next? V-E Day, of course! Although I fear the name will soon be changed incorrectly because Victory Day World Way II did not actually occur until September 2 when the Japanese formally surrendered. I guess not everyone actually remembers the history they study. I wonder what our president will rename Cinco de Mayo?
