Today is Cinco de Mayo, which is a very minor holiday that celebrates Mexico's improbable victory over the French in the Battle of Puebla. So not a huge deal in the scope of history, but I want to take a moment and think about all the things that I love about Mexico and it's culture. The first is that it is a spectacularly beautiful country with miles and miles of gorgeous coastline and equally beautiful mountains. It is populated by a wide range of native people who continue to make things with their hands. I love that, and I always come home with more than I left with as a result. The second is the food. The cuisine of regions varies widely, and everything that I have tried, both in restaurants and at home of upscale Mexican food has been an adventure in multilayered flavors and I just wish it was more widespread in the United States. And I do enjoy Sonora Mexican food, do not get me wrong. I love the culture of celebration and I hope to travel back soon.
