Veintecinco de Mayo



Friday 25 May 2007

(Don't you love it when a holiday falls on Friday?)

Happy Revolution Day, everyone! On this date in 1810 the Argentines declared independence from Spain, and started a war for their freedom. (You can see the date on that statue in the picture, if you look very closely.) As you can probably tell, it went well.

Not much went on today, but Ryan and I wandered around downtown a bit with an acquaintance of ours. There were certainly a lot of flags out, but no big parades or anything.
