May 5th I went to the Cinco de Mayo festivities at Roseland. It felt like I was visiting Old Mexico again. When I had finished my BA degree I decided to travel throughout Mexico and participated in an archaeological field school near Cuatla.
I overheard conversations in booths about how the French over took the Spanish to control Mexico during the 1800's. There were so many people dressed up and dancing with the Mariacho bands. There music was very loud and everyone was enjoying the summer night. I walked down Sebastopol Road which was my old stomping grounds when we lived in that neighborhood many moons ago.
The communal food, happy families, and giggly girls reminded me of how different our American community is from that of Mexico's.
