San Antonio, Tx

We visited the Alamo on Monday, March 27, 2006. While there are only two of the original buildings left, it was well worth the visit. No photographs are allowed in the chapel or the museum, so I was only able to shoot pictures on the outside. The museum has a lock of Davy Crockett's hair, his gun, vest, the ring Travis gave to a little girl before the final battle, and numerous other articles. There is also a short film made by the History Channel about the Alamo. After our visit to the Alamo, we took a boat ride through the San Antonio Riverwalk. Great way to see the Riverwalk. Our tour guide was great. After the boat ride, we went to the Imax theater and saw the 3d film, "Ocean Wonderland" Wow, what a show. If you get a chance to see it, do so. We are camped at Braunig Lake RV Resort just about 10 miles from the Alamo. Gary has managed to catch fish in Texas. The resort has a pond and Gary is out fishing right now. As always, for more pictures, click on the link for our travel photos.
