photos: cinco de mayo!
Australians overall have never heard of Cinco de Mayo (like at all. ever.) and are even more confused by it than they are by Halloween, which is really saying something. Thus, it proves rather difficult to round up very many of them for what should be a joyous fiesta of bright colors and guacamole ... but what was lacked in quantity of Australians was very definitely made up for in quality -- Katie not only provided all the food, but also had the brilliant insight of bringing streamers to make our beloved fiesta tree. Isn't it gorgeous?! Happy Cinco de Mayo to you, too!!

Um, well, no; we don't celebrate it. But why do you celebrate a Mexican victory over the French? I had the impression that this was something more common in southern California or Texas rather than your part of the country.
Cinco de Mayo is celebrated all over the US these days, probably because there are people of Mexican descent living all over the US, not just in the states that border Mexico. As far as I can tell, it is more or less just a celebration of Mexican culture, rather than what the original holiday commemorated.
