Cinco de Mayo

In America Cinco de Mayo is a great day for celebration. Everyone goes around saying "Happy Cinco de Mayo" and tonight will go out to eat mexican food. To us it is a big deal which creates a lot of excitement. This morning, when my Hispanic rider got into the car, I said to her "Happy Cinco de Mayo" her response was simply "I knew you would say that." I was shocked, I didn't know what to say. I questioned her about it and she said that her cousins living in Mexico do not even celebrate the day. She said it is not a holiday here nor their. I was completely shocked by this and a little disappointed, but I know that it will not keep Americans from celebrating it.
