A few years ago, I was fortunate to be part of an exchange program to Mexico. We were able to go to different states in the Nothern Part of EUM - or Estados Unidos de Mexico - and experienced life as a professional.
We lived in different types of cities, from the highly urbanized like Monterrey, to the more laid back and rural ones like Tampico. We got to taste different cuisine and drink different cerveza. And of course, we got to live with Mexican families as "foster children." This was one of my favorite parts of the trip.
While we were there, the equipo was able to celebrate Mexican Independence Day or Cinco de Mayo. I remember that we celebrated it with a Fiesta at the house of Guadalupe, and it was a reunion of sorts because we got to party with a lot of the people who were part of our journey in Mexico.
Since that Mexico trip, I've been silently celebrating Cinco de Mayo. After all, it's already a part of my growing up years.
So, Feliz Cinco de Mayo! Vamos a beber tequila y come tortillas!
