Viva Fiesta!

I'm ashamed to admit that I've lived in San Antonio for almost 7 years and I've yet to participate in any Fiesta activities. It's a tradition here - basically a reason to party for 10 days. What I have learned, I've learned from Katie, and what she's learned, she learned at school. She's been lucky to personally see Fiesta royalty twice now. When she was in Kinder, El Rey Feo visited her school, and this week King Antonio came to her school.

I happened to be passing by when I noticed a procession with police escorts. My first thought was why would there be a funeral procession driving past the school? It took me about 2 seconds to realize wait a minute, I think that's El Rey Feo. I decided to turn around and investigate the situation. I pulled around the back of the school and saw the caravan parked and unloading. Thinking I wouldn't get to see much, I continued around the back drive of the school. I was so excited when I realized that all the kids (1,000+) we're seated on the back lawn. I was able to watch and listen to the entire cermony.

(As of this morning, I've learned that King Antonio and El Rey Feo are not the same person. I'm catching on!)
