198th New Thing - 25th Anniversarcy Cinco de May Festival

Today is the Kentucky Derby and Cinco de Mayo so I went to the 25th Anniversary Cinco de Mayo Festival downtown Denver at Civic Center Park. Cinco de Mayo, celebrated by Latinos and non-Latinos across the country, commemorates the victory of a heroic people and their struggle for freedom. On May 5, 1862, in the town of Puebla, the outnumbered Mexican army defeated French forces providing the momentum and national confidence to drive foreign power from their country. Cinco de Mayo is a celebration of freedom and culture. Cinco de Mayo celebrates the tradition of freedom and acknowledges the beauty of Latino culture. The festival had food, drinks, music, activities, vendors, and exhibitors. I had a Coyote Gold Margarita (on the rocks) and a beef taco & chicken taco (from Sandrita's II tent). It was a lovely afternoon in Denver about 83F with sun, clouds, and a nice breeze.

What did you do today?

The area around the wound started getting bigger instead of smaller and oozing. Therefore, I went back to my doctor to check it out. She said I was having an allergic reaction to something, probably the Neosporin . She gave me some new ointment, Vanos , and said I should take Zyrtec until the area starts to get better. Vanos (fluocinonide) Cream is indicated for the relief of the inflammatory and pruritic manifestations of corticosteroid responsive dermatoses in patients. Best results are seen if used twice per day. Zyrtec (cetirizine) is an antihistamine that reduces the effects of natural chemical histamine in the body. Histamine can produce symptoms of sneezing, itching, watery eyes, and runny nose. Zyrtec can be u
