Today is Cinco de Mayo.
One day, I hope Ukranians will have a similar holiday: They are fighting off an invasion attempt, just as the Mexicans did--successfully-- 160 years ago.
The funny thing about this day, and other Mexican holidays like Dia de Muertos, are more likely to be celebrated by Americans who see it as an excuse to party.
I plan to ride and, yes, eat Mexican food. I'm told that what they serve at Los Portales, around the corner from my apartment, is authentic. I suspect it is: I see Mexicans eating there. All I know is that it's good, as I've eaten there, and ordered take-out from them, any number of times.
