| "Fiesta San Antonio is a ten-day cultural celebration and city-wide party held annually in April. Events are held indoors and out, with several parades (including one on the river), dances, sporting events, special museum exhibits, and plenty of music and food."
-page 37 "Last light tints the tower of Bexar County Courthouse, which dates from 1929. With San Antonio as its seat, Bexar (pronounced 'bear' in English) County took its name from the original presidio, or fort, that protected Mission San Antonio de Valero (later the Alamo) and was named for a son of the Spanish Duke of Béxar."
