Happy Cinco De Mayo
By Audrey | May 5, 2008
Happy Cinco De Mayo everyone! I love it, mariachi music, margaritas, and tacos for all. I have been enamored with the colorful food and culture of Mexico my whole life, my Spanish teacher in school used to call this fascination with another countries rituals and heritage “Cultural Seduction” and I have to agree, I have always felt seduced by the culture of Mexico, the language, food, clothing, music, folk art, and the people - there is just something so vibrant and celebratory to me about Mexico and I for one could not be happier to see more and more of their heritage incorporated into everyday life in this country.
In college I spent a summer travelling through the Yucatan penisula with a church group, and ever since I have been dying to return but just haven’t been back to make the trip yet. I often fondly think of retiring there someday and filling my home with Mexican folk art, mariachi music, and friends.
Today my in-laws are arriving in town for the week so I don’t know how much celebrating I will have chance to do, but they are treating us to dinner. They are working on this trip so I should have my days free for the most part and will be spending time with them in the evenings, so I should have plenty of time to get my work done and allow them to spoil us a bit. Like all in-laws mine have a few traits that drive me crazy but for the most part they are pretty easy to deal with, give us enough space when they visit, and like to take us to dinners and shopping for household stuff so I often feel quite pampered when they get to town.
Today and tomorrow I’m working on uploading a bunch of new content that I have been working on for the month, since I am also going to visit my own family in less than 2 weeks which I don’t anticipate to be as easy to handle as HeavyB’s. Wish me luck, I will definitely need a cerveza by the end of this crazy month!
