This Photo is NOT in Paris. "What would you like to do this evening?" my new friend Pierre-Yves asks me on the 5th of May.
"Today is Cinco de Mayo!" I reply. "Let's celebrate at Fajitas, my favorite Mexican Restaurant in Paris."
"What is Cinco de Mayo?" Pierre wanted to know?
"What?! You don't know?! It's a big celebration, with parties and parades." I explain.
"Okay. As you wish. Let's Celebrate." My friend Pierre agrees.
At my favorite Mexican Restaurant in Paris, I ask the waitress in French, "What is Cinco de Mayo in French? Can you please explain it to my friend?"
"Cinco de Mayo is a celebration of the Mexican Army's defeat of the French Army. We don't Celebrate this in France." She explained politely.
Pierre-Yves looked surprised.
I looked stupid.
We enjoyed a great Mexican dinner on Cinco De Mayo.
Pierre did not pay for my dinner and I may never see him again...
Note to Paris Dreamers: Do not celebrate Cinco de Mayo in France!

What the heck were the French doing in Mexico anyway? Am I the only one that didn't know this?
ReplyDeleteI hope your reasons for never seeing Pierre-Yves again are not because he did not pay for your diner?!? That would be disturbing and a bit backward for all those strong, independent women out there who DO NOT NEED A MAN to pay for their way....gurrrl!
ReplyDeletehahahahaa! That's what I love about you Flojo! Too damn cute!!

ReplyDeleteWhat is your favorite Mexican resto in Paris?

I love Fajitas! The owners are friends of a friend of mine.
ReplyDeleteOh that was too funny. Thanks for the laugh!
ReplyDeleteThanks for reading TinT...I have a Belgian friend who lives in Germany who did not know about V-Day (or VE-Day) the following week. I did NOT go to Germany to celebrate with him!! So, I'm getting better...Good luck with your transition. Check out AdrianLeeds.com if you need help with Paris housing.
