Would you believe their are probably alligators not to far from here? The
bloodiest battle in Texas history, Rio Medina occurred most likely within 10
nautical miles of here. When you hear the words South Texas you imagine sandy
soil mesquite trees wind and oil wells. Alligators long ago killed off have
returned. What is special about the scene…..it’s the work place for one of San
Antonio’s female boxers Celina Salazar.

A recovering busted lip from a sparring session made for an interesting
workplace conversation with a client. Let’s face it if you saw Celina on the
street and talked to till she brought up boxing you would never guess. It is
office work, in of all places a cemetery. Yes there is an oil well in the
cemetery. Also many of the graves within the cemetery indicate the tight bonds
within la familia. The echoes of New Spain remain quite loud down here below
Mission Espada. There is ironic twist the body of the father of her rivals
trainer lies in the ground that her trainer and her help direct.
