For those who feel at home amid the song of wild birds, the bubble of the brooks and streams, and the whistling of the wind through the Mesquite, Juniper, and Wild Oak trees of South Texas, the GSCNA is a wonderful new park to escape the traffic and travails of the city, and to relax in peace.

What started out as a good week and a continuation of a long winning streak, took a turn for the worse on Sunday with the Spurs losing to their arch-rivals, the Dallas Mavericks. Unfortunately, the loss hurts in more ways than one. With the loss, and only two games left in the season, the Spurs are locked in 3rd place in the division, with no chance of catching Phoenix.

Someone flipped the switch and the cube, showing off its modernistic latticework, bust into colorful light with several thousand people cheering and throwing confetti. . .and with that, a dream came true, and a 10 year project came to completion. The Museo Alameda del Smithsonian, a 40,000 sq. foot museum exploring and educating about the Latino influence, history, and heritage, was inaugurated Friday at a huge celebration. People braved the rain to witness the opening of the San Antonio's newest, and perhaps most architecturally brash, museum.

Royalty is just as much a part of Fiesta® San Antonio as the heroes the festivities honor. Besides the "Big Three" royalty - the Queen of the Fiesta, King Antonio, and El Rey Feo - there are several other queens and kings chosen as part of the 10-day celebration.

The famous Fiesta® San Antonio was birthed with a parade. It's no surprise that parades continue to be one of the largest attractions during the 10-day celebration. Of all the parades held during the annual event, there are three that are a must-see for Fiesta attendees. These are The Texas Cavaliers River Parade, The Fiesta Flambeau, and the parade that started it all, The Battle Of Flowers.

The Battles of Alamo and San Jacinto, fought in 1836, were crucial battles in the Texas Revolution; both played a key role in shaping the history of Texas. More than half a century later, another memorable event was birthed. On the 55th anniversary of the Battle of San Jacinto, in 1891, the first Battle of Flowers was held to honor the heroes that battled for the freedom of Texas. The Battle of Flowers wasn't a battle in the literal sense, but a parade, with lots of - you guessed it - flowers.
