Feliz Cinco de Mayo!
Senora Provina, my old Spanish teacher might be appalled. Aprendiste algo en mi clase?
She certainly would wonder what kinds of lessons we’re learning from the COVID pandemic. In years past, this day was an occasion for revelry, bright colors, spicy foods and “Cinco de Cycle” or “Cycle de Mayo” bike rides.
To my knowledge, none of those rides are running today. Your favorite Mexican restaurant, if it’s open, is doing only take-out or delivery —and may have a limited menu selection.
I am going for a ride. Afterward, I think I’ll order something from Los Portales. I’ve been going to them since the day about fifteen years ago when I was riding by and saw it full of Mexican families. I stopped in and got “hooked.”
Of course, the question is: What to drink? I wonder how many people are going to drink Corona today?
