Happy Cinco de Mayo. Long live Freedom and Democracy. According to Wikipedia this day was an important day in the course of the American Civil War. When 4,000 poorly-equipped Mexican troops defeated an 8,000 strong professional French Army at Puebla, Mexico, on this day in 1862, it shattered Napoleon III's plan to help the Confederate Army in its war with the Union. Isn't History interesting? So, let's celebrate with a photo walk.
