!Buenas Tardes A Todos! Good Afternoon, Everyone!
Today is El Cinco De Mayo, or The 5th Of May! This is significant in Mexican and Mexican-American history because on May 5, 1862, the Mexican army defeated the French in the town of Puebla during the Franco-Mexican War. The victory is especially remarkable because the Mexican army was outnumbered 3 to 1: The French had 6,000 soldiers; the Mexicans only had 2,000!
Let's take a virtual trip to Puebla, the 4th largest city in Mexico! When you come back, don't forget to stop by the National Museum Of Mexican Art right here in Chicago, IL. Be sure to let me know what you think. You can post here or send me an email detailing your experiences.
