    Its my anniversary.. My wife pick out the date we would get married so i would remember.. When I see a bunch of drunken Mexicans wearing Ponchos and sashes and sombreros -yelling and shooting their six shooters at the sky I know I need to visit the florist.. Works out great!!


    Other than that, it goes way back in the 1800's when a ship loaded with mayonnaise was being delivered from USA to Southern Mexico The As the ship got close to Mexico Someone yelled 'Sink the Mayo.. and they fired canons at it and sunk it.. Thats why we have Cinco de Mayo day..
    A Mexican civic holiday held on May 5 that commemorates the Mexican army's unlikely victory over French forces at the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862, under the leadership of General Ignacio Zaragoza Segu?n.
