May 5, Mexican's Independence Day! - Cinco de Maya!

I have to confess that I was not aware the existing of this Latino holiday until I moved to the States and worked at the public library.  - Hack! I was NOT a very good librarian back then.

In the "old" day (I mean fifteen, sixteen years ago) when Internet is NOT part of our daily life, books were the only resource to find out information such as "cinco de maya."  Nowadays the fastest way to look up for informatuion is just a few clicks on the computer. Here you go, "click, click, click" ... Voila! the history and the meaning of "cinco de maya" pops up on your computer monitor in a second!
