Oak Bluffs: Programs for seniors Shelby Regan
“It is not enough to know how to ride, you must also know how to fall” is a Mexican proverb according to the Old Farmer’s Almanac. Most appropriate at this time of the year, as May 5 is Cinco de Mayo, Spanish for Fifth of May, an annual celebration. The date commemorates the Mexican Army’s victory over the French Empire at the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862. This information was a good history lesson for me, as I previously had now idea what was being celebrated. So celebrate this day, and enjoy.
