We were watching a travel show about Mexico and they commented that the place they were at was the site of the second invasion of Mexico by France. We didn't even know there was a first invasion of Mexico by France! Now I knew that Cinco de Mayo was not the Mexican independence day that many think, but had no idea it was celebrating a battle over France.
We did street tacos during a block party by a favorite Mexican restaurant. Tasty. Oh, and we toasted with Uni Tequila, owned by a friend of a friend. https://www.unitequila.com/
