Fiesta: NIOSA 2014

Ever since I moved to Texas, I was never much involved with how life worked out here. I partially blame my slight depression and homesickness. I suppose that you become socially alienated when you don't feel the need to go socialize. Well this year has a bit a whole lot different. I don't warm up to people quickly so being comfortable with friends took me a little while but I have some of the greatest people as friends. In San Antonio there is an annual fiesta (spanish for party) where there is just endless celebration. Every weekend there is a different "theme" for the fiesta and there is massive amounts of food and drinks. There is music and bands playing in different areas downtown. I can't say that I didn't enjoy myself. I couldn't attend all of the festivities because there is not enough time with school but also there is not enough money so I had to pick one from the three weekends that fiesta happens. I ended up going to NIOSA and it was splendid. San Antonian's really do know how to party and even though there is plenty of alcohol going around there is no one building up a ruckus. It was perfect! There is plenty of security as well. The only advice I would give is not to bring small children along or take them to a less congested area. There is a lot of people and loosing a child in a sea of people is no fun. Specially when everyone is cramped up trying to move about.


If you are ever in the San Antonio area I highly recommend that you go to this because it is just so much fun. You will not regret it.
