Is also known as Cinco de Mayo.
What is Cinco de Mayo celebrated for?
Cinco de Mayo marks the anniversary of the 1862 victory by Mexican troops over invading French forces at the Battle of Puebla. The triumph over the better equipped and more numerous French troops was an enormous emotional boost for the Mexican soldiers led by Gen. Ignacio Zaragoza
Is Cinco de Mayo celebrated in Mexico? No, other than in the town of Puebla where the battle took place, Cinco de Mayo is not celebrated in Mexico. Cinco de Mayo is a big holiday in the U.S., the date is largely seen as a celebration of Mexican American culture stretching back to the 1800s in California.

Dinner at Jimmy’s, up in Eagle River, a Northern Suburb of Anchorage that is 15 miles and 20 minutes away.
Patti and I have eaten at Jimmy’s, one of our favorite restaurants, quite often.
Some hot miso soup was delicious!
Singapore Rice Noodles
Nope. We never tire of enjoying them.
After dinner, Patti and I attended an 8pm meeting of the Star Group in Eagle River to celebrate the Anniversary of a dear friend. What a pleasant evening!
