Fiesta San Antonio 2018

Day 225 of My Italian Learning Journal*

_____________________

When I made plans to spend this weekend in San Antonio, Texas, I was not aware that it would be the beginning of the city's Fiesta San Antonio 2018. Hotels were packed all across the city. In our hotel, there were members of a motorcycle club from another state. My wife, daughter, and I had a good time visiting my son and his family and doing a bit of shopping. We started back home Sunday afternoon to beat the highway traffic that gets busy later in the day. (Corrections to my Italian grammar in the practice script below are welcome.)

Ascolta Questo:

• San Antonio, Texas ha una celebrazione annuale chiamata Fiesta San Antonio.

• La città fu dato il nome il 13 giugno 1691, dopo s. Antonio di Padova.
