Today is Cinco De Mayo! The fifth of May is a big celebration of Mexico's victory over Napoleon III's army. American helped out and let any serviceman leave the army if they wanted to help in the Mexico's fight against the French.
Actually, it's only the fourth, but I moved the time ahead on this post so my history lesson would be relevant for the day. Since I've moved the post date ahead, I'll stay in the future and tell you what's happening at 10:00 AM on Cinco De Mayo!
I've just gotten back from pain class. Except for the one week we worked on wrist locks, it hasn't be too painful, but I enjoy using that name for the class. I'm taking a book on scuba diving down to south-east Orlando. I need to read a chapter and turn in homework at my next scuba diving class. So far, I've met my snorkeling requirement, and I've put on the diving equipment and stayed under for over 20 minutes in the deep end of a pool. Very cool. Some lessons I've learned from my class so far: A wet suit is way, way cool, Being able to clear out a facemask full of water, while still under the water is wonderful, and fins are hard to use.
I'm off to visit a friend in another half hour. I've just finished with my post-Aikido shower and will reach the destination by 12:00 hopefully. Her older sister is holding a large Cinco de Mayo party and we're all going to go out to eat at a Mexican restaurant and stay the rest of the day and overnight at their "party house". From McM's description, the house is huge and has all sorts of water equipment - boats, sailboats, skis, canoes... and stuff. I'm looking forward to the visit/party.
