Besides being Cinco de Mayo (which our Spanish teacher doesn't care about huh.gif ), it is National No-Pants Day! Do you plan to celebrate? I'm wearing a skirt and am going to find some plausible way to go to school without underpants. laugh.gif

It commemorates the victory of Mexican forces led by General Ignacio Zaragoza over the French expeditionary forces in the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862.

It is a common misconception that Cinco de Mayo is Mexico's Independence Day.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cinco_de_mayo

it celebrates when a small Mexican army defeated a large French army. and back then, France was known to have the most powerful army. it was an important victory for the Mexicans.

today in Spanish, all we did was talk about Cinco de Mayo. something intresting that we talked about was why Americans celebrate it.

why do you guys think that Cinco de Mayo is sort of a national holiday here?
