¡Ay! ¡Casi me olvidé! (Celebré ya el viernes este año.) Pero el día
todavía no ha terminado en esta parte del mundo ...

A nombre de todos los suscriptores de Lowlands-L, ¡de saludos y de
recuerdos a nuestros amigos que celebran el Cinquo de Mayo!

El Cinco de Mayo es una fecha muy importante en las comunidades de
mexicanos, chicanos y otros americanos hispanohablantes. Muchos
americanos no-hispanicos también la celebran. Representa la victoria de
los mexicanos contra la Francia en la Batalla de Puebla en 1862. Muchas
personas creen que el Cinco de Mayo es el día de la independencia para
los mexicanos, pero no es la verdad. El día de la independencia ocurrió
el 16 de septiembre (de 1810, más de 50 años antes).

¡Saludos amistosos a todo los Lowlanders hispanohablantes por todas
partes!

Respeto,
Reinhard/Ron

Oops! I nearly forgot! (I already celebrated on Friday this year.) But
the day isn't over yet in this part of the world ...

On behalf of all Lowlands-L subscribers, greetings and best wishes to
our friends that celebrate the Fifth of May!

The Fifth of May is a very important date in Mexican, Mexican-American
and other Spanish-speaking American communities. Many non-Hispanic
Americans also celebrate it. It marks the victory of the Mexicans
against France in Batalla de Puebla in 1862. Many people believe that
the Fifth of May is the Mexican day of independence, but it is not
really. The Mexican day of independence is September 16 (1810, more than
50 years earlier).

A friendly hello to all Spanish-speaking Lowlanders everywhere!

Regards,
Reinhard/Ron
