Happy Cinco de Mayo

Mexican favorites!

     Do you know what Cinco de Mayo really is all about?  Most people don't.  The Battle of Puebla took place on May 5, 1982 outside of the town during the French intervention of Mexico.  The Mexican Army defeated the French forces that were occupying the area at the time.  Today the victory is celebrated on the 5th of May every year.  See a map of Puebla, it is located in the Southern Mexico:
