If you are like me, then you have been welcoming the recent and untimely glimpses into hot summer weather. If you are like me, you are also living in fear of Swine Flu. Feeling excitement mixed with anxiety as it relates to global and health issues means only one thing: It’s time to get together with friends and party - while we still can!
Cinco de Mayo is coming up this week, celebrating Mexican heritage, and also observing the defeat of Mexico’s army at the Battle of Puebla on the date in 1862. Traditionally, this holiday has been celebrated in both Mexico and the United States with great food, music, and dancing. If you are still looking for Cinco de Mayo party ideas, you might consider hiring a Mariachi Band, or taking your celebration to the streets by hiring a Mobile DJ.
