We went to the Alamo in San Antonio, too. Surprised to find out there actually were survivors of the Alamo (other than the Mexicans:)....the woman and children and a slave were given $2 and some clothes and allowed to go free....a little history for you today. We saw Davy Crockett's Kentucky Long Rifle and Jim Bowie's knives....
The Alamo itself looked pretty small from the outside--surprisingly large from within...no pictures allowed inside...several big rooms/areas--like a church--I always thought it was a fort, but it is a mission instead. And I always pictured it in my mind as out in the country, but it is now mid-city, surrounded by large hotels and businesses.
Like all wars/skirmishes makes me wonder if the Mexicans didn't deserve it more than we did---probably an unpopular thought....
More pictures of the River Walk coming up in the next segment, since I haven't figured out the blogging very well yet. Happy Sunday!
We're getting ready to "close her up" and head east to Pharr, Texas where Marilyn & Ed are residing as "Winter Texans". It is only 250 miles, so we'll be there later this afternoon.

Lookin' good!!!
A bloggin' tip - I did learn that you can add more than 5 pics at a time... add your 5 and then just add pictures again - you can do 5 at a time but do as many as you want!
You're doin' great!!! Easier for us out here to view too - like you said, we don't have to download each pic!
