The Alamo

Our last day in San Antonio we toured the Alamo. It was just through the street from our hotel and the weather was perfect. I didn't get many pictures because an elderly gentleman and a not so nice lady yelled at me for taking pictures. They said, "Didn't you READ the sign"? I felt terrible because I must have totally missed the sign. As I looked around everyone else was taking pictures but I was the lucky one to get singled out! I really felt like telling them what I really thought, but I held back. I didn't want to make a seen and Adam would probably never take me anywhere again. ;) It wasn't like it was in the shrine. From that point on I put may camera away and didn't pull it out again.
It must have been field trip day at the Alamo. There were school classes everywhere! We went into a building that had a mini scale replica of the battle that was unreal! It really put things into perspective. If you know Adam very well you know he loves to through out one liners from movies, make jokes about it and then ask you to name the movie. I stopped counting how many times I heard "I remember... the Alamo" in a soft spoken girly sound. Can anyone name the movie? I had no idea, and after he told me what movie it was from, I was embarrassed for him!

This was the original outer wall that was still standing after the battle between the Texans and Mexico.
