Although I am not Mexican, I did grow up around the Mexican culture, it’s very similar to my Guatemalan culture. Growing up in California, I was exposed to this celebration yearly. I really enjoyed it, it had always been a very festive holiday. You would see colorful decorations all around, in school, shops, just about everywhere. There was music, dancing, costumes, parades, and a lot of tequila and beer hehe, the same in Los Angeles just on a much larger scale, specifically on Olvera Street in Los Angeles. Olvera Street get’s really packed on weekends if Cinco de Mayo falls on a weekend, during the week it’s a bit slower as any other major holiday. The food has always been so good. It’s one of my favorites! Cinco de Mayo is celebrated all over the United States, outside of the US apart from Mexico, I don’t know. I’ll leave you with a video, with some celebrating going on from a past Cinco de Mayo.
As for myself, the only celebrating I’ll be doing is at home. As it’s a weekday, and I don’t know anyone in Massachusetts apart from William and his family. So it’ll be us doing a little Cinco de Mayo celebrating here. Not much, but it’ll be fun. Mexican food and corona’s tonight woohoo!!! Anyway this is short and sweet, Happy Cinco de Mayo everyone, be safe and don’t drink/text and drive. I’ll leave you with another Cinco de Mayo video.
I miss being a little girl, missing out on the egg hunts, and Easter baskets :bunny: , am I being selfish? Na, I don’t think so. It was fun when it was a big Easter egg hunt. As kids our mom & dad would take us to the local park, and at this park they always had a big Easter egg hunt, it was so much fun. Kids of all ages were there, well you know within a certain age group, I guess after awhile you are too big to be doing Easter egg hunts Although I did enjoy watching my niece and nephews do them as well. When I was little I loved the dresses I got to wear, it made me feel like a princess The kids look so adorable now when I see them all dressed up, soo very cute. I hope you all have a pleasant Easter!
