Reliving the Battle of Cinco De Mayo

You may be used to celebrating "Cinco de Mayo" in a Mexican restaurant surrounded by inflatable corona bottles and chile string lights, but its done a bit differently across the border. In Mexico, the event marks the defeat of the invading, heavily-outfitted French army by the people of Puebla; it was an underdog victory and today the Battle of Puebla gets reenacted every year in the streets of Mexico City, as well as remembered across U.S. cities.
