Happy Cinco de Mayo!

The 5th of May is not Mexican Independence Day as Mexico declared its independence from mother Spain on midnight Sep 15 1810.

Cinco de Mayo actually celebrates a Mexican victory over occupying French forces.

Honestly I believe it really a modern marketing ploy to sell more Corona!

Feliz viaje!
