"Remember the Alamo"

So, I've always wanted to see the Alamo
and wouldn't you know my only picture out front my eyes are closed?!?
Oh well, we had fun.

We learned a lot about the tensions on both sides - how the Mexican Army moved in - and how those trying to hold on to the Alamo really didn't stand a chance. It was a very big build up for a very short battle. A sad story really.

We enjoyed walking the grounds - they were beautiful!
We also enjoyed demonstrations on muskets...
knife throwing...


and enjoyed being serenaded by the Spanish Soldiers.


Someday we would like to go back - hopefully on a day when it's not quite so crowded :)
