It means beans to us in the UK, but it transpires that here in the US it is a very big deal indeed as a celebration of Mexican culture and heritage.
We took the Minx to the Cinco de Mayo de Mayo celebrations at Dolores Park in San Francisco and had lots of fun eating Mexican food and watching Apaches dancing, though we had to leave to give the Minx her nap just as the mariachi competition was starting.
Elsewhere for the 5th May, Flickr held its 24 Hours of Flickr event, inviting people to post up images taken on the 5th May from around the world. You've got until 21st May to post up your images if you want to join in.
Look in the pool and you might find my photo of where we went after the Minx's nap.
