This is Fiesta week in San Antonio. Tomorrow (Friday) is a city wide holiday, most businesses shut down and it feels like everyone has gone downtown to watch the parades - one on the street and one on the river.
This explanation comes off a website about the Battle of Flowers parade ...
"The Battle of Flowers Parade is the event that launched San Antonio's Fiesta. In 1891, a group of ladies decorated horse-drawn carriages to parade in front of the Alamo, and showered each other with flower blossoms. The Parade was organized to honor the heroes from the battles of the Alamo and San Jacinto."
You can also check out the Parade's own web site here.
What a great place to live! Remember the Alamo!
