Pic(s) Of The Day - 09.15.15 - ¡Viva La Raza!

September 15 kicked off Hispanic Heritage Month for the City of Houston. We gathered in the rotunda at City Hall for the press conference. Mariachis. Pan dulce. Tacos. And outstanding citizens being recognized for their achievements.

I wondered why the month starts on the 15th? It seems that several Central American countries declared their independence from Spain on September 15 followed by Mexico on September 16 followed by Chile(?) on the 18th. Who knew?

Pic Of The Day - 09.18.14 - Hispanic Heritage Month

It was a rainy day and I made my way to Rice University for breakfast with Houston Mayor Annise Parker. The occasion you ask? It was a breakfast for sponsors of the Hispanic Heritage Month. It was a nice gathering and it's always fun to see familiar faces and meet new people. It was also the first time I was in the Faculty Club at Rice University.
