On May 5, 1862, Mexico won a battle against France.

Mexico went on to become independent, and no European power has invaded North America since.

How did Clara celebrate?
Yesterday, I went to a Mexican restaurant in Vigo. I saw all my American friends there and we all said, “Happy Cinco de Mayo” to each other. I also said it to my Mexican roommate when I saw her in the morning. We ate guacamole and enchiladas. I came home and wrote this paragraph!
