Cinco de Mayo


Cinco de Mayo, ah, a holiday that is really fun to say! Cinco de Mayo. Did you know that in Mexico, it is a "voluntary holiday" (oooh, something else fun to say) and is "not an obligatory federal holiday". It celebrates the Mexican army's unlikely victory over the French forces. A good reason to celebrate, but why, I ask, in America? For us, it is probably just a reason to go eat some good Mexican food. And since we have been seriously deprived of that in Egypt, we decided to go get our fill. We were knocking around Provo this week and popped in on our favorite local Mexican eatery, Los Hermanos. They are good in their own special way. I had the ever satisfying Chicken Chimichanga (say that 5 times fast) and Spence sampled his longtime fave the Smothered Beef Burrito. The kids filled their faces with the abundant chips and salsa and also branched out to the Chicken Taquito. All raved, everyone was satisfied, a good Cinco de Mayo.

Definitely one of the first restaurants we go to when we hit the US will be TexMex... it's always a toss up... good Mexican, or good BBQ!

Grant biffed it on the sidewalk. He needed about 2 stitches, but I just fixed it with super-glue and butterfly strips. Worked wonderfully.
