Did Cinqo in Old Town S.D. last night. Can report on scarce parking, over-priced beer, over-flowing restaurants and lots of white people. Stops
included the Alamo(strong marguis), O.T. back alley beer garden($5 beer in plastic cups, $2 cover, DJ) and the comfy Old Town Saloon.
Upon exit at approx 7:30, I-5 was backed up in both directions with patrons waiting to take our spots.
After a few, escaped to South Beach Bar & Grill/Ocean Beach for sun.., er, I mean fogset, $2.50 Dos Equis and a spectacular seafood stew(not on
the menu). SBB&G gets my coveted 5 c-ckroach Dive Dining rating guide.

Today was mi ninietas first day back at school here in El Tule.We went to the beach yesterday and it was pretty full with Gringo kids that live down
here.Only a few Mexicanos.What a great visit this has been!Weather is perfect and the surf,wow!Yesterday it was HUGE!! As an ex-surfer, I estimated a
"true" wave height of at least six feet, maybe more!! Cinco de Mayo was nothing more than another day here
Happiness is just a Baja memory away...

May 5, 1961: The 1st American in Space
There are many reasons to celebrate Cinco de Mayo:
Here's one...
From Cape Canaveral, Florida, Navy Commander Alan Bartlett Shepard Jr. is launched into space aboard the Freedom 7 space capsule, becoming the first
American astronaut to travel into space. The suborbital flight, which lasted 15 minutes and reached a height of 116 miles into the atmosphere, was a
major triumph for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).
Any there any more Cinco de Mayos out there? Why yes. there is....
1809
Mary Kies of South Killingly, Conn., became the first woman to be granted a patent. The patent was for the rights to a technique for weaving straw
with silk and thread.
1821
Napoleon Bonaparte died on the island of St. Helena.
1891
Carnegie Hall (then known as Music Hall) opened in New York City. Peter Tchaikovsky was the guest conductor.
1925
John Scopes was arrested in Tennessee for teaching Darwinism.
1981
Bobby Sands of the Irish Republican Army died in a prison hospital on the 66th day of his hunger strike.
2004
Pablo Picasso's "Boy with a Pipe" became the most expensive painting ever sold.
All much better than a small ..and all but forgotten.. squirmish with the French. With all these Cinco de Mayos coming out of the
woodwork, it's no wonder it's a day to party!

I was astonished when my wife told me of all the "days" in Mexico.  May Day,
Mothers Day, Students Day, Doctors Day, Childrens Day, Teachers Day, Womens Day, Grandparents Day, Nurses Day, Day Of The Dead, Columbus Day, Benito
Juarez Day, Fathers Day, Independence Day, Revolution Day, Cinco De Mayo, Labor Day. Good Friday, Semana Santa, the liost goes on! Many are days of no
school, no work for many, and many are paid holidays! No wonder nothing gets done in Mexico.  , sorta Hey Pomp, thats the 'tude dude,
search the date, there is always a reason to celebrate! Oh, fish as well!
