Jesus Alexander – Artist

Friday, March 26th, 2010

I had the pleasure of getting to know a great artist from Laredo. He was originally from Texas and then moved to Mexico City for most of his young life. Jesus has been painting since the age of 5. For those interested in learning how to draw or paint, you can visit Alex’s Studio located on Calle Del Norte. His daughter Maru is the instructor at the studio and accepts anyone from the age of 6 and up.
The pictures will be used for an invitation to an exhibition of his paintings. It will be held on April 15. I really enjoyed spending time with another artist and even though we didnt get to talk enough as I would have wished I was really inspired by his passion for painting. I hope that one day I can do the same for a younger generation.

Early Exit for HEAT

Saturday, August 1st, 2009

The Bradenton Academics completed the underdog sweep in the Premier Development League Elite Eight opening round with a 3-1 victory over the Laredo Heat in extra time at the Texas A&M International University Soccer Complex on Friday.

The Ventura Fusion defeated the favored Kitsap Pumas 2-1 in the early game and faces the Academics tonight for the Southern/Western Conference championship.

Either the Academics or Fusion will advance to the PDL title game for the first time in their program’s history. In Des Moines, Iowa, the Cary Clarets defeated the Ocean City Barons 1-0 and the Chicago Fire blanked the Des Moines Menace 3-0.
