Picture taken 05 May 2009San Diego is a cosmopolitan city with many different people from many different cultures. San Diego itself used to be part of Mexico. Further there are many generations of Mexican immigrants. San Diego has grown substantially in recent years. For many years San Diego was a quite border town. But there has always been a keen interest in Mexico. Cinco de Mayo celebrates the battle of Pueblo where Mexican forces defeated European forces. The Mexican forces received substantial aid from Americans. This not Mexican independence day, and it is not widely celebrated in Mexico. This picture of the Mexican flag was taken at San Diego City College during Cinco de Mayo celebrations.
