Description:

According to wikipedia, Cinco de Mayo is: "Cinco de Mayo (Spanish for "fifth of May") is a holiday held on May 5 that commemorates the Mexican army's unlikely victory over French forces at the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862, under the leadership of General Ignacio Zaragoza Seguín. [2][3] It is celebrated primarily in the state of Puebla and in the United States.[4][5][6][7] While Cinco de Mayo sees limited significance and celebration nationwide in Mexico, the date is observed nationwide in the United States and other locations around the world as a celebration of Mexican heritage and pride.[8] Cinco de Mayo is not Mexico's Independence Day,[9] the most important national patriotic holiday in Mexico."

For this swap, you will have five (yes, FIVE) partners. Send each partner a "happy Cinco de Mayo" day card. Cards can be store bought or handmade. Inside the card, include at least one of the following:

  1. Something you enjoy about Mexican culture.
  2. A random fact about Mexican history.
  3. Tell your partner about a trip you took to Mexico.

That's it. This swap is open to all members of the group.
