Last night I attended the Fiesta River Parade in San Antonio on the Riverwalk. My family moved from the Houston area to San Antonio 9 years ago. When I’m in town during Fiesta, I always attend the River Parade. My sis works for the company that owns Riverc*nter Mall, so we have VIP passes that include, front row seating, dinner, and drinks. It’s SO fun.
Last night I asked Jenn what Fiesta is all about. She didn’t really know. I’ve been attending events for years and I don’t really know either. Ha Ha! I looked it up on-line. Here’s what I found out…
“Fiesta is an annual spring festival with origins dating to the late 1800’s. The festival started as a single event to honor the memory of the heroes of the battles of the Alamo and San Jacinto. Today there are 3 Parades to celebrate Fiesta and over 100 events around the city.”
Whatever… I just like the VIP passes at the parade.

Hi PPP:
I am a frequent reader of your blog and I live in Houston too. I enjoyed reading your recap of Fiesta in San Antonio. Looks like fun, VIP passes are always a bonus !!!
I just have to point out that the correct spelling is: cascarones.
If you look at the way it's spelled now, I think you will know why I had to comment : )
Anyway, keep up the blogging !
