Cinco de Mayo 2020
 |
The battle is celebrated each fifth of May as a great victory for freedom in Mexico.
Some of the locals erroneously called it "Mexico's Fourth of July".
I used to like to be out in the crowd taking it all in for hours on end.
It was really a fete to behold on the West coast.
I was known to make merry late into the night at San Juan Capistrano some 6 miles down interstate 5 from my apartment in El Toro, now known as Forest Lake.
Anyway some of those waters passing under the bridge include what I view as an invasion facilitated by the government of Mexico until President Trump made them the offer they couldn't refuse.
My continuing issues surround those motivations which caused them pretty much to escort invaders to our border prior to that time.
I even stopped drinking Coranitas because they reminded me of those happy times late into the night in Southern California.
Will I ever regain the esteem Mexico and specifically Tiajuana, land that I loved once held in my heart?
I simply don't know.
