Bob is an American living in Mexico. His blog is pretty interesting, and at least everything he has written about Mexico is totally accurate. <br /><br />http://mexicobob.blogspot.com/2010/05/cinco-de-drinko-revisited.html<br /><br />Mexicans don't mind that other countries celebrate this day, they just don't like the confusion of historical events. <br /><br />Thanks for commenting, dear friends!Angiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10837468075125434991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4437221766382871883.post-6442017315614903362010-05-08T14:49:51.351-05:002010-05-08T14:49:51.351-05:00Hi Angie, It seems all the grocery stores in this ...Hi Angie, It seems all the grocery stores in this area have their sale 'theme' for the week to be "Cinco de Mayo"!! As you can guess, the items featured are for making our Americanized Mexican dishes. ;) LOLJuanita D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04528012165544645996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4437221766382871883.post-60293443800297496802010-05-08T11:21:25.690-05:002010-05-08T11:21:25.690-05:00Wow!

The day is certainly celebrated with great gusto around these parts!<br /><br />I loved the image of the house in Dolores Hildago. So many, many houses in Santa Fe look exactly like this - exactly. It is amazing to me to see the Spanish/Mexican influences carried north into the New Mexico territory. I am so grateful to the Santa Fe Historical Society for how hard they have worked, even in the face of opposition, all these years to preserve this rich heritage. So many of the older buildings still remain.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4437221766382871883.post-35367552124881355282010-05-05T23:47:12.531-05:002010-05-05T23:47:12.531-05:00Cinco de Mayo is a big deal in Phoenix, as you can...Cinco de Mayo is a big deal in Phoenix, as you can imagine but, really, I think it's mostly just a day that's an excuse for drinking and partying. We would have liked to go to our favorite Mexican restaurant tonight but we decided against it--I'm sure it was much too wild. Nice photos :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
