Most people don't know this.....

...But I specifically made sure I was not in Mexico on April 21.  I felt like I may have caused nationality riots....

(From a list of Mexican Holidays...).
Heroica Defensa de Veracruz

Thursday, 21 April 2011

And in case people wanted to know why I wanted to make sure I was in Mexico for May 5th......
(I feel like I'm going to make fun of Americans(myself included) from afar, this year.....)
Cinco de Mayo
Fifth of May – Celebrates the victory of the Mexican Army, led by Gral. Ignacio Zaragoza against French forces in the city of Puebla, on May 5, 1862. U.S. “celebration” of this Mexican historical event is largely a result of promotions in the US by liquor, beer, and bars/taverns/clubs/restaurants since the 1980s. For many years Cinco de Mayo celebrations in the US promoted Cinco de Mayo as Mexican Independence Day which is actually September 16. Although Mexican citizens feel very proud of the meaning of Cinco de Mayo, it is not a national holiday in Mexico,
