Cinco de Mayo - any idea what this all about?

It is a national holiday - but NOT the Mexican Independence celebration (which takes place in September!).

If anything is going on in town - I will not know or see, because I still am not mobile enough to go and find out (particularly not on this rather hot day). My impression is that everybody is sleeping today because it is really quiet in this neighborhood.

So, in case you care: there are of course several videos and stories out there, such as this one on YouTube: The day commemorates the victory of Mexican forces over a French army in Puebla, southern Mexico.
