Fiesta 05


	April 26, 2005 -- My buddy Joshua Coleman joined me for five fun days in San Antonio, Texas, to celebrate Fiesta ‘05 with Nicholas and his family.


	From nights at NIOSA to days spent under the hot Texas sun, we had a great time and got a chance to visit dear friends. One of the highlights of the trip included a look at the new Museo Americano in San Antonio’s historic Market Square. Opening in 2006, the museum will house an extensive collection of Latino art, demonstrations, and exhibits. Be a part of it! Click here for more information.
